Situation is normal in most area, just alot of inconvenience in terms of travelling, crowded train, taxi not wanting to go certain areas,

I would say you probably will enjoy yourself more if you come at a later date.

Should be fine bro, if u dun mind some inconvenience in moving about.

Just avoid yellow and red shirts to be on the safe side. :p:p

Re: Bangkok Protests affecting tourists?
 

If u are able to travel in BKK by taxi without hindrance by protesters,If u are able to go to Suvarnaphumi International Ariport by taxi without obstacle and able to fly back to SIN,If the MP are open and MP gals are working ,If u stay in a hotel far from the protest sites eg Stay at Rachada City Hotel or Wattana Mansion along Rachadaprisek Road,then u could still make a worthwhile and safe BKK trip .:p

Ratchada City Hotel
 

These days not many people know this Ratchada City Hotel exists. :p

So far this hotel has the biggest bed I've ever stayed in Bangkok! :D

Rachada City Hotel (formerly known as Regina Hotel) was walking distance to Caesars.Room was spacious and clean with HBO.Cheapest room rates start from Baht 950 to 1000 per night.:cool:

I actually am travelling from Australia so I can't change the dates.
So it will be better to stay at the ratchada's hotel?
Are soi nana n cowboy still open? Or should I just stay in the ratchada soapy land?

I'm thinking also of heading to Phuket instead. But I've been there before so am wanting it try bkk.

Thanks for the answers bro.

For your information, the "Red shirt" have rebrand themselves as "White shirt", so white shirt is to be avoided, particularly in Bangkok where the anti-protesters are.

I dun understand this "scared dun go" kind of replies.

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

Re: Bangkok Protests affecting tourists?
 

You ask forum? There's news to follow up? Just follow the news if you don't wish to get this kind of question. :rolleyes:

Lazy to read or listen to news then prepare to get funny answers from the samsters.

Since you so kind, so what's your view? Safe to go Bkk? For your info there's shooting happened at Pathunam area hor.

Re: Bangkok Protests affecting tourists?
 

Last night in ChiangMai also heard gun shooting sound around 3-4am, not sure is due to protest of due to drunken gunner......but sure is not fire cracker sound.

For those planning to Thailand, be prepare that Thailand is not like Singapore so safe. Shooting can happen with or without protest going on, and just need to be more careful and watch the news to avoid protest area. For those bro who need to and ask, what I tell you "safe" today may not be the same in tomorrow cos I'm not fortune teller to know what going to happen if the protest turn nasty.:rolleyes:

Those who want to know future, please go and ask White Dragon.......dun ask me where is he now.

with all the protesters it would be so easy to meet girls, talk a little politics, get them all wild and bonk for free.
