Other club members who did get to Hong Kong found the accommodation they paid for had not been booked. Sakol Poolsirikul, 51, from Nakhon Phanom, complained to Suvarnabhumi airport police that about 80 Lions Club members from various provinces had been unable to board the Thai Airways International flight they expected to take to Hong Kong on Friday. They were due to attend the 55th Orient & Southeast Asian Lions Club Forum (OSEAL), which began in Hong Kong on Thursday and concludes on Sunday.
