Political unrest etc

That's right, I was going to check the FCO website about the safeness or otherwise to travel in Thailand.

Only remembered however when, having passed an army HumVee and a police van on the same street, I turned a corner and there was a city centre camp site of dissidents and others who just like the colour red.

"Looks pretty quiet to me" were of course the fateful last words of General Custer just before Little Big Horn.

Silly man. Silly me.
