Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Hi VSOP, JWB,

If I am in your shoes, I will definitely go. This is the best time, just stay on the other side of the city. Avoid the main city center. My HM went there during the last crisis. The demonstartion was just walking distance. Their group just turn right instead of left, and enjoy their trip with some excitement.

The gathering was more like a big party, loudspeakers, stage, performance, food peddling.... all coloured coded dress code....

This time round, just a clash of interest in the partying. Take it as that.

So Ratchda is still safe. The biz mafia wouldn't allow their cash cow be disturbed, which is. And for sure they will welcome you...

enjoy, and don't worry

like the sayings goes, 'when your licence is up, you have to go......'

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

For those with no political vested interest it's rather safe to go but up to individual.

Like what you said this is the best time. For me I'll go as planned if my air tickets are booked. Less competition from other tourists for accomodation and entertainment. Girls will be more willing to please. Furthermore it's low season now. Most importantly it's a buyers market. You'll feel like a VIP x2 in establishments during this period while the rest cancel their trips and stay at home. :D

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Tks for the advice... I tink 80% i will go la... airport dint close it sld be still safe... juz avoid the gov places protest places bring map along.... Shop also weekend market and chiong mostly @Siam area... Wad worry is the bus i taking to Bai Long Gong...haha... JWB juz go worse staying inside hotel bonk all the way till check out lor..

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Wow this one very garang. Haha. :D

Haha just avoid the troubled areas and let the Thai people sort it out themselves.

If budget airlines roll out S$100 or less return trip to BKK now. I'll book immediately and cheong 4D3N just for the fun of it. Sadly the cheapest these days are around S$170-S$200 only. Gone are the days of the S$100 or less return trip deals. Sianzzz. :rolleyes:

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Yeah, why not? as long as you dont wear red T-shirts [like ManU supporters] or yellow [like those EPL referees], you will be harmed due to "mistaken identity". The safest will be staying indoors not wearing anything :D

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

The Thais nothing better things to do... As if their supported party win they will get $$ like tat... Life still continue n u still need to go back n work as well... Really no brain....

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Personal choice to go now or postpone. But think your comments belittle your hosts. What's behind protests there are much more than you think (with your smart brain).:rolleyes:

Just got back yesterday evening. Most ordinary folks just want to get on with daily business of living. City appears normal (if you siam hotspots at govt house). Was relieved to be back to planet earth. Cannot escape the nagging feeling if situation gets worse.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Hello politics is about money! If don't have monetary gains do you think those supporters so free take parang and risk their lives arh? Most of them come from provinces. This is their job ok? Don't picha thier rice bowls. Don't be naive lah. ;)

Supporters for MIW is the most pitiful. After 40 years they still sweeping floor in RCs. :D

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

bro, no offence, but easy with your critics, watch the words use...... not that they want to be, it is really some win some lose situation....

cheers
