"Apart from barricades at the airport, it was nothing," said Chew Lu-Min, another passenger.

But the political protests did ruffle a few feathers.

"I was supposed to take the 7pm flight, but I changed it to 1pm. All the calls and messages from Singapore made me feel the tension. Otherwise, I felt okay," said Jolene Lee.

As for those working in Bangkok, it was business as usual.

One of them, Suwito Kua, said: "I don't see much difference because the demonstration area doesn't affect where we come from. Of course, there's some worry. We're not sure whether the situation will always be in control or not."

Another Singaporean in Bangkok, Shelia Leong, said: "No, it's not affecting me at all... nothing is really happening here. Life is normal, nobody has really told me that they are uncomfortable... "

Singapore's Foreign Affairs Ministry (MFA) has advised people to postpone their travels to Bangkok to a later date. If there is an urgent need to travel there, Singaporeans are advised to register with the MFA at its website.
