aridion Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi, I am heading to Bangkok for a few days over Xmas. I am thinking of staying on Suk. soi 8. Is it safe there right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyDow Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I stay close to Soi 8 most weekends. There are no major protest sites in the locality, most of them are right across the other side of town. However last weekend they had minor sites at the Ploenchit/Wittayu intersection and at Asoke. Sukhumvit was jammed solid. If you plan to get around using the skytrain at the end of Soi 8 you should be OK. Using taxis, buses, etc. is a lottery depending on what exactly is going on.

GuyDow Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Yes, I think so. There really isn't anything in the vicinity that draws their attention. It's actually very quiet in the area right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prbkk Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 There for lunch today. Very quiet. And Soi 11 not much busier. Odd, but understandable, for this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aridion Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 It might get a bit busier at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
