Another_Guy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Well the current political situation may cause me to make changes in my travel plans. I am finaly able to get to Bangkok after a year for a little R and R but it does not look like it will be safe. What do you guys think? I am suppose to fly in on the 28th of April. (I know a lot can happen in 2 weeks). I was planning on staying in Bangkok but depending on the situation maybe go to Pattaya. I can not get stranded in Thailand. Or maybe I should change destination, maybe Manilla. I have never been there and I have been to Bangkok 6 times so I am comfortible withthe way things go and know the places to have fun. What do you guys think. Should I scrap my Thailand plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encore Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Skip BKK, come straight to Pattaya. After the collapsed Asean meeting, no further political activity is anticipated there. Not sure about BKK, although I suspect in two weeks time the army will have firm control..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddawg1 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm coming in 65 days I'm sure things will calm down by then. The only way I won't come is if they close the airport. The girls will be ready for hansum sexy man like me!!!! :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I am landing on the 6th of June (LOS landing....or L-Day) Even if they do burn the airport -> I will still reach BKK, no matter if I have to land in SGP or KL then cross the border by road. @sanddawg1 : Don't know if you are handsum man but the girls will for sure be ready for you...as I don't think they will have seen that many people before you land.

Faustian Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 AG, I'd suspect most of this will be over by then...don't fret... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yep, probably (and a bit egoistically I find it sad too....unrest and instability in LOS do profit to some people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Guy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks all. trust me I dont want to miss the good times. The tide looks like it has changed a bit. I will keep my plans flexible. If the city looks bad then I will go to pattaya otherwise I will stay in BKK. As long as there are no actual riots i think i will be fine.

Another_Guy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Just looked at the calender I fly out in 2 weeks. Yeah. Have the recent troubles effected the P4P or night life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I remember looking at the Bangkok Post and they were showing the count of Songkran traffic deaths. Lots more than the demos. Not to disrepect the people who lost their life and their loved ones, but if the protesters were driving in Songkran instead of protesting, it may have caused more than the 2 or 3 deaths due to the protests that were reported.

Specialist Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm typing this from the Nana Hotel. The protests never got to Suk. The biggest danger here was the multiple extended free-soak zones. Far too many farangs with SuperSoakers and the equivalent, and no braincells to go with them. I wouldn't mind THAT much, but some of them insist on using ice water. If I come for Songkran next year, I will bring a few more T-shirts and swim trunks, a pair of flip-flop sandals, and an underwater (shallow) camera. As it was, I didn't dare get close enough to get any pictures, since my current camera is NOT waterproof, not even a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
