a little scary since the recent happenings with the use of violence and gunshots.

you don't have to go to Pratunam for shopping..
there are so many other shop...

Emporium , Central Shopping Mall.
These mall are good and reasonable price.

i always go Central Shopping Mall , they have reasonable prices and great clothes. The small central are located at Silom. Big one are 2 stations aways from Paragon. Not sure whats the station called.

Hey guys, Dont go to BKK in April!! freaking serious now.

Hey berts

Central world you mean? Its inbetween Siam and chitlom

Yeah, I don't see whats the problem with shopping really. Theres still A LOT of malls open and running. And the whole city is littered with Central malls

i just back from bkk...the red team are getting lesser and lesser..

lets hope things get sorted down by april.. my trip is from may 12 til 16...

Hmm... any latest updates from peep in BKK central?
Are the violence still on-going? and the malls still closed?

Supposedly leaving this thurs...

Ohh im leaving on 14th~17th of May too~ but im worrying about the violence too...just hope by the time everything is clear...
From news the Red Leaders are going to surrender on 15th of May but they will continue their spirit on protesting.

At time being what we can do is closely monitor the situation there and thank god everything is clear by than.

Bangkok Getting worst. ZZzzzzz

Yes it's getting worst with those explosion recently. My friends in Bangkok said it's quite dangerous now. Better head to other places like Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai.

Kazebert Bangkok Update

I'm now in Khao San.. found a 30baht an hour internet.. LOL
usually it cost 60 baht..

Anyway...
I was in Chinatown ,Khao san , Platinum mall...
i don"T see any red shirt.. NONE...
Platinum mall is so near to Siam Paragon ... everything is usual..
business and traffic is usual...
It"s not that bad.. u dun see police carrying guns walking around bangkok city...

The Bad news is...
BTS train station for certain station is close..
3 main station is close...
. National Stadium
. SalaDaeng
. Racha -something

So tuk-tuk are using this chance to charge/increase their price.
The cheapest price they offer me from train station to Khao san, MOTOR TAXI are 150baht..
So please consider taking taxi as it's more comfortable and aircon...
it only cost me 63 baht toKhao san..

More bad news are..
. MBK and malls around it close
. Silom close too
. Lumphini night bazaar close

consider going to platinum shopping mall..
Chatuchak is open...

Don't stay in Silom at the moment... as the BTS and malls around it are close....

-thats all for today -

guys,i`m going next week...wonder if situation will improve?
now exploring if its ok for MAS to change destination from Bangkok to somewhere else?i have actually purchase the MH Low type,that cannot be change
dunno,if MAS offer this kind of x-tra social service since Bangkok is dangerous now.

pls advise...thanks
