Hundreds do yoga on Thailand airport

BANGKOK: Stretching their fingertips to the reddening sky, hundreds of yoga devotees rolled out their mats on the runway of Bangkok's main airport Saturday, practicing their downward dog as early morning flights rumbled overhead.

The unusual event on the airport's third runway — which is still under construction — saw the workout paired with beverages as participants were offered coconuts, iced teas and water to incorporate into their routines.
