Don't Worry, We Are Still Alive

Many of you have expressed concern over our safety near Bangkok considering the unrest there in recent days. Thus far we have not been affected by it, and are unlikely to be any time soon. Plus, on Friday or Saturday we plan to leave again for more traveling and will not be near Bangkok after that for a couple weeks.

So, don't worry. We are fine. There is very little violence, and life here continues without change for the majority of the population.

What is the issue with Bangkok? All I see in news.google.com as of 5/10/09 is Swine Flu.

Hi Phocis,

We had some protests that turned a little violent when the Red Shirts were demonstrating in Bangkok. This was mid to late April, so it may not still be in the news cycle, but I bet you could find an article or two still online.

Hope that helps!

PS We are not affected by swine flu either.
