I have no bookings on 23rd so should be in Pattaya but my schedule is not fixed so best PM or Tweet me before you arrive.

If you head to Bangkok on 27 Jan take note that their elections are on 2 Feb.

The prime minister has insisted that the polls will continue as scheduled but the Election Commission has advised for a postponement whilst the protesters are dead set against one.

Last night more violence again. A grenade thrown at the Bangkok gov's home. Small homemade bombs thrown at protesters. Yingluck is not bowing to their demands and they are getting impatient. The army has set up guard posts in several areas across the city presumably to "protect" the "people" aka protesters.

This Saturday is Armed Forces Day. Last week they rolled in the tanks on the pretext of Children's Day. Coup or not nobody is sure but if status quo maintains then protesters could get more violent on days leading up to the polls.

The reds now in town confronted the PDRC but back off upon hearing gun shots.

Right after the incident, Khun Suthep, aka Kamnan also nearly got bomb attacked at Banthat Road. Instead of him, 28 other protesters got injured.

This is what I saw from the Tv.

So now the third party no more attack during the night, but even in the day time.

It's matter of time before it getting worse!

Bro,

Too early to tell now, situation could just change overnight.

Btw, u going on election day! Things may get ugly no matter which party wins, anyway I look at it.

Good luck bro.

First i will apologise for giving so called "scare dun go" replies. Just a fact, as the respond so said.

I am now at Suvarnabhumi Airport, after a 5 days trip (cancelled from 8 days, due to personal reasons).

Want to best go Pattaya, did not even feel anything about the protest going on in Bangkok. Did not even want to step into Bangkok for this trip.

Life went on, met many fellow Singaporeans on this trip.

choke dee, sanok sanok, na......

Gelyang confirmed super safe
Ratchada should be ok, but still BKK
Pattaya confirmed ok
'cos, I am in Pattaya. No clue what's going on in BKK....

He is just asking for information to weigh the pros and cons. Cannot even ask then what is the point of this forum?

with that being said, I do recommend to go to Pattaya as they are not affected at all.

I'm heading there myself tomorrow for the weekend.

Good luck!!!
