Hundreds of Australian travellers have been left stranded in Thailand after authorities closed three airports due to protests today.

The resort island of Phuket was the first airport to shut its doors, followed by Krabi and Hat Yai in the country's south as anti-government protests spread across the country.

More than 5,000 protesters invaded Phuket International Airport, storming its two runways and preventing passengers from going in or out, Agence France-Presse reported.

Luckily, I can say first-hand that Suvarnabhumi was not scheduled for closure today (Sat), nor tomorrow (Sun).

*touch wood*

It's now 3am Sunday morning. Still referring to Sat as today.
