For people in Bkk that might want to help.

THE NATION: Blood needed at King Mongkut Hospital - especially group O and B. Donation at Chalermprakiat Bldg.

Good post! Regardless of nationality and color of brainwash (red or yellow - take your pick!), go and do something helpful for all the poor victims instead of sitting behind the computer and working yourselves up over (your side's) propaganda.

@neverdie I love the Einstein-quote in your signature.

This can all be stopped with the reds going home. Is risking your life really worth 500 Baht a day from Thaksin?

I don't think so, not for us well-educated and well-paid farangs anyways. But still they do risk their lives. And they don't give up and leave for home although the army lets them do so.

Logic would say that either they are so poor and desperate that they are really willing to risk their lives for "500 baht per day".

Or... they are motivated by something else than money.

Whichever way, I feel very sorry for every single casualty this sad weekend in Thai history. R.I.P. to all soldiers, whether dressed in red or in camouflage. Regardless whether it was the top generals of the Thai army or Thaksin + friends that paid your salary, you all deserved a longer and better life.

Yep, March Madness is here in Bangkok for the first time ever! Kudos to Truevisions who finally realized how popular the NCAA Basketball tournament is. Its more popular than the NBA playoffs because of the intensity of the competition and the ferocity of the fans.

Actually, kudos to Truevisions for bringing ASN into Thailand. It is ASN that has been bringing us the NFL games, NCAA football, NHL, college basketball etc. It is great.

I have to get this ASN channel on Truevision everybody is talking about. Sounds great! So far I've been following the tournament through internet streaming which works fine too, but I would love to have it on the flat screen.

Tonight, or rather tomorrow morning, is tip off for final. What an amazing end to a great tournament if Butler would win the championship.

Although Butler lost, it was an amazing game. If they played again tomorrow the game would be a toss up again. It was a thriller.

Agreed! It was a great game for any basketball fan. And if Hayward's last second shoot from half court had gone in, it would probably gone down as the most historic championship of all time. Not to say that Duke didn't deserve their win - they did, but what an impressive team effort and coaching Butler displayed throughout the tournament. I can't wait to see coach Stevens, Gordon Heyward & teammates in action again next season.
