shamus 1 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I wanted to come over for a 2 week recharge, to fly in about a week from now but I'm a little uneasy about the rallies going on in BKK at the mo. Can you guys having first hand experience let me know how likely you think I am to run into any such problems at the moment. I know things are calm at the mo but I haven't a clue if they're likely to escalate as happened before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice 5712 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I am presently staying at Minburi in Bangkok. No problems there. As before, nothing to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsite12 2 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Don't worry about it mate.... come over as long as you are not hanging around in the wrong areas, there you won't see a thing. If you are staying in BKK, then you will quickly know where to stay away from. Just follow all the other farangs, and you will be ok. I came here in the height of the last troubles and i didn't see a thing out of place. Mostly because i never went looking for it, and I didn't spend much time in BKK anyway, News reports tend to condense a viewers perception of a problem, especially when they are thousands of miles away. In reality, these things are spread thinly across a large area. If you are not staying in BKK, then i doubt you will have any problems.

steelepulse 5833 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I was up in BKK right after the riots, and as long as you don't stray into a big rally, you'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie 8096 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Just follow all the other farangs, and you will be ok. Just when I thought I had heard it all, you come out with this beauty. I'm not sure if following this rule is ever a good idea in Thailand 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsite12 2 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 If you do stray into a rally, get everyone whipped up into the chant "We want PROCRASTINATION, when do we want it...NEXT WEEK!!". You should be ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus 1 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Been to Thailand many many times before so I know the score about getting around BKK in general I just wanted to know if any more airport takeovers were due. It's alright saying yeah yeah come and making cracks about flak jackets but I wouldn't want to have to sleep in an airport, that didn't look like fun to me. 47.6!? I could get 60+ in 2008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
