The Redcoats Have Taken Over Downtown Chiang Mai

For those in the area, will this affect my weekly Friday night trip Tuskers or is it far enough away?

depends which way you're coming in from but the barriers aren't up until the mike's burgers joint on the east side of the moat.

I thought the redshirts stronghold was in Chiang Mai. Isn't that where dear leader was from? In that case, why piss off your own supporters. Counter productive if you ask me.....

These guys should sort it out.

American missionaries call on local bar owners and staff at the Changklan Road entertainment area to repent their sins and turn to Christianity.

During the evening of March 24, a group of 4 American missionaries invaded the Changklan Road entertainment and sexual services area, shouting at bar owners, bar girls, customers and passers-by. Their somewhat unsubtly expressed message was that drinking and using the services of sex workers would result in hel_l as a final destination, and that the Lord had ordered them to spread this message to ensure that all sinners repent.

The group’s speeches continued for almost an hour, during which bar girls, Thai and foreign bar owners and customers intervened, yelled back and gave rude hand signals to the missionary group.

When questioned by local reporters, Tony House, the leader of the group and a former Thai boxer at the Tony Siriprapa Gym, emphasised the group’s good intentions in attempting to save those fallen into sin by making them aware of their misconduct and their descent into hel_l.

Tony stated that before he had found Jesus and become a missionary, he and his friends had also fallen into sinful ways, and, being lost, were heading straight for hel_l themselves. The group, he said, is committed to helping humanity in Chiang Mai city by encouraging conversion to the Christian religion, and will continue its visits to Changklan Road until all who work in or visit the area reform their way of life.

Tony added that Chiang Mai is a cultural city, and should not encourage the inappropriate pursuits of drinking and prostitution. Officials from the municipality should make sure that the entertainment areas are closed down, prohibiting sex tourism and promoting the historical and cultural aspects of the city instead.
