The Dominican Embassy in Thailand is reporting that several Dominican citizens are among the thousands of foreigners stranded at Bangkok airport during the recent anti-government protests, unable to get onto flights home. Ambassador Hans Dannenberg Castellanos, who is based in India, says he is in constant communication with the stranded travelers and the Embassy is seeking ways to get the travelers back home. He added that if any other Dominicans find themselves in this situation they should contact the Embassy at 91 11 4601500 (hans@dr-embassy-india.com), the Honorary Consulate in Thailand at 66-2-9335686 (contact@dominicanconsulate.org) or the sub Ministry of Consular Affairs at the Foreign Relations Ministry. The situation started as protesters took control of the airport in Bangkok causing over 900 fights in and out of the country to be canceled. An estimated 100,000 foreigners and 40,050 Thais were stranded as a result of the protests, which as of this morning were called off, as reported in the international media.
