mrtoad Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The OP is a bit dramatic - I do remember that ridiculous blog by some American describing how escaped from Bangkok durinG the last coup - that was hilarious. Are you by any chance related? It's nice and peaceful up here in Kanchanburi - so I don't think I'll be fleeing the country yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark45y Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The Baht is strong and the Thai stock market was up today. The people who control those also control what happens in Thailand. As long as both the Baht and the SET stay up nothing bad will happen. Don't worry. Be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silk Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Ronald says he will stay, he has the attire for both sides, and he is polite, keeps his mouth shut and refuses to run. What do you think about a thai woman speaking out on youtube? Is she a coward or brave ? Does she stand for her opinion taking any risk? This is a question, your answer appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silk Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 This is what cowards do and you are one of them. If you are interested in doing business in Thailand you should make clear that you are doing business under the "CURRENT LAW LAW" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carib Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Ronald says he will stay, he has the attire for both sides, and he is polite, keeps his mouth shut and refuses to run. What do you think about a thai woman speaking out on youtube? Is she a coward or brave ? Does she stand for her opinion taking any risk? This is a question, your answer appreciated Silk. I don't see the relevance to my tongue in cheek posting about Ronald maybe leaving Thailand due to what is going on. But the woman in the video ( it is still actual, even after a year) is absolutely right in my opinion. I think she absolutely stands for what she believes in and is willing to take a risqué. Not sure if that risqué is real or not. Edited March 11, 2010 by Carib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey maybe this is the same guy I met in Phnom Penh who was afraid to leave the bar and walk 200 metres to the bookstore. Mind you it was 8pm and the boogieman was gonna get him!

kurtgruen Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Just go hang out on Rayong Beach for a few days or lay back on Koh Chang and you'll be fine. None of the excrement will fly your way and chances are, nobody will be talking about what is going on in Bangkok Most of us, have the luxury (and the money), to take off for a few days. I do feel for all those poor people, who are stuck in Bangkok. but even most of them, can remove themselves from the affected areas. Don't worry - Be happy!

hhgz Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 "Thinking of leaving Thailand to the home country for a peace of mind, then come back once the situation is back to normal. Anyone?" I think that's a great idea! Would you please pick up a large bottle of vodka in the duty free store on your way back? Thanks! I'm reminded of all of the panic when the 2008 Summer Olympics torch went through BKK. Oh my! Many TVers posted that they were going to hide in their apartments for the weekend, just in case the Wu Jing or the Thai police went on a rampage. The torch relay went on without a hitch...

Theyreallrubbish Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 To be honest it seems a bit of a damp squib so far. Numbers way lower than what was projected Unless things really pick up tomorrow this could be the end of Taksin. This was hyped up so much, even half a million people will be seen as a failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as both the Baht and the SET stay up nothing bad will happen. Don't worry. Be happy Oh, is that so, Mr. Thai-ologist? Who is "controling" the SET? It must be foreigners, because foreigners were net buyers and locals were the ones selling. So, if Thai people are "controling" the market, they sell and the market goes up. Makes perfect sense to me... Let's all wait for Obama, Goldman-Sachs, and Warren Buffet to make sure "nothing bad will happen". After all, they control what happens in Thailand...
