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:

[James0x57]

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.

[Deathwolf]

have you seen the persons die?  that is terrible terrible terrible :-[

[James0x57]

I saw a fresh corpse in Vietnam from traffic.


Uh, so just got informed of helicopters flying around firing something...

[Deathwolf]

That is like in Irak  :eek:

[James0x57]

Govt says 75 people injured, more than 10 of them seriously, one dead.

Protesters (Red shirts) shooting fireworks at the helis

[Deathwolf]

to the good fortune, you were not there

[James0x57]

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...

that's very terrible. It's was very loud or?

[Romaap]

That's heavy, man.
Lets just hope it will calm down.

[Dark Chaos]

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..
