I was at dinner and heard the explosion just a couple blocks away.
Plan is to leave Bangkok on Saturday. Until then, I pretty much need to stay inside. =S
PS: Military is EVERYWHERE.
"Three grenades exploded at a train station"
uh WTF :eek:
Yeah.
Seems like it's starting to escalate too. It could die off right now and be quite; you never know.
I'm staying about 4 blocks from where that happened, and where tons of "Red shirt" protesters are. There's also a some opposing "yellow shirts" and then there's the military and swat everywhere.
Seriously, I look out my window and the parking garage across the street is packed with military looking down/around.
have you seen the persons die? that is terrible terrible terrible :-[
I saw a fresh corpse in Vietnam from traffic.
Uh, so just got informed of helicopters flying around firing something...
That is like in Irak :eek:
Govt says 75 people injured, more than 10 of them seriously, one dead.
Protesters (Red shirts) shooting fireworks at the helis
to the good fortune, you were not there
Just woke up to the sound of 3 or 4 explosions followed by gunshots.
The soldiers in the parking garage across the street were up in a scurry putting on their flack vests.
Spotlights on the buildings and sounds like helicopters...
o_O
it was evening?
that's very terrible. It's was very loud or?
That's heavy, man.
Lets just hope it will calm down.
that's insane dude. i would never want to go to a place like that o_O
that's rough man.well at least nothing happened to you when the explosions started :)
It's almost 8pm, leaving for home at 3am.
Tonight might be bad for the area/protesters, gov said it will break them up when gov is ready..
