What was bro RTB saying that "its heaven for punters now in bkk". >>>>Whatever Bro RTB say, please take it with a grain of salt, he is a bar owner after all so has a vested interest in seing punters in BKK if he dont want to go bankrupt.
I have 2 more weeks until my arrival so I know events can change in BKK but looking for some advice on hotels in the Suk area. I am currently scheduled for the Swissotel Nai Lert Park but Wireless Rd. is blocked at the moment. Seeing some excellent deals on Hotels (good for me, sad for the area) so I'm hoping some of the locals can give me some idea of where it is somewhat safe to stay.
I know this may not be the right spot to post but I'm not allowed to start a thread and this topic has the local bros active. Thanks in advance for any tips (other than avoiding BKK).
The army on Saturday afternoon declared Bangkok's Ratchaprarop area a "live-fire zone" and prohibited the general public from entering the area due to the intensifying clashes between anti-government protesters and soldiers.
Troops have erected signs warning people and journalists not to enter Ratchaprarop.
Earlier, demonstrators blockaded Din Daeng intersection, forcing cars and other vehicles to turn to Ratchaprarop road and into the face of a military barricade.
Reports said soldiers were deployed to areas around Ratchaprarop to monitor the situation closely.
This is taking on the feel of the Watts riots in L.A., it's not political anymore, it's mindless thugs out to kill and destroy, forget trying to get customers to your estalblishment, arm yourselves and try to protect your property, and yah the farang cheap charlies will look at this as an opportunity of a life time.
I guess it might be wise to cancel my trip which is coming up in two weeks. Sad to say that inspite of what the testosterone in my body desires, the brain takes precedence in these matters.
Last night I could hear gunfire and at some point some screams from my appartment dont know about some other bro but I m happy to see the end of this trip...
