Bloody hel_l, just 10 minutes ago, I was thinking to myself, I hope these "bombs" don't start appearing in CM in retaliation.

They already dislike the Bangkok people enough here... (think Glasgow --> London, L.A --> New York)

Must be 'yellow', the reds would lose all support up here for that.

Bloody hel_l, 20 years of no trash bins in London, and bomb alerts every day because of the IRA, now its come here.

pathetic.

Drove by Airport Plaza around 2:00 PM nothing unusual at that time. If this did happen maybe its time to start thanking of exit stage right.

You mean to San Kamphaeng?

No way will the reds let civilian locations in Chiang Mai become targets. Just doesn't add up.

Wasnt Airport plaza a Thaksin creation? Dunno about Robinsons.

Yup, the wife says Thaksin's sister built airport plaza.

But then again she also says I can't whistle at night, because it attracts ghosts.

Airport Plaza is built and owned by http://www.centralworld.co.th/ owners and builders of Kad Suan Kao , Big C, Robinson Department stores, etc...

Hmm. I guess that means I can whistle at night then!
