First of all how cool is the
skyline here of Bangkok? We had to take the skytrain to quite a few places
because the roads were blocked by the beautiful protest. Oh by the way Bangkok
is in a state of emergency for 90 days (started on the 22nd) in case
anyone wanted to know. We may be flying straight out of Vietnam or Chiang Mai
in April. We saw a lot of things on the rides, for example the Victory Monument.
It was erected after the Thailand-Franco war and has the names of soldiers who
died in that conflict as well as WWII, Korean War etc… Of course there were
protesters on the monument. When we went to the Jim Thompson house we were stopped
trying to turn down the street by protester security?? Not really sure because
they were just citizens who had security badge things (like the ones you have
to get backstage at a concert). It was a little scary, I mean they didn’t have
guns or anything but it was still nerve racking! We were fine. Next day we were
heading on a train to Chiang Mai. Minds Open, Hearts Close, Bellies FULL
