So it's been some while ive written on this blog, been meaning to post something about the current situation in bangkok with those pesky red shirts, but seeing as ill be back in bangkok this coming weekend ill be able to gain a more accurate view of what's actually happening. When I was living in Thailand, I remember the events of 2008, when the yellows managed to close the airport down for a good few days, and the protests and clashes that ensued in 2009 during songkran. I never at any point felt in danger though, but now returning to thailand in the present state it's in feels a little dicier. And am having second thoughts about my trip. Anyone that's currently in bangkok, please send me a message or email and let me know what it's actually like - presumambly people are still going to work, going about their daily business and somehow getting around the red shirts camps and clashes between the police. It just seems like total madness:
