If you are thinking of taking a weekend trip to Bangkok this weekend – you better cancel your trip even though I know some would love to see the Golden lighting there but the authorities fear that things might turn violent during the weekend. It looks like a civil war is about to start and I haven’t seen one of this in a long time now. But yes it can turn ugly – and I was in one in Vietnam some 20 yrs ago – and had to be evacuated out of there by a special group – so my advice – better be safe than sorry.
