Thailand, here we come!
Off travelling to Bangkok exactly in 20 hours 30 mins! Planned this trip 2 mths ago, and certainly didn't foresee the events shown in the news this week:
1) Apparently there's a HUGE storm heading towards Bangkok anytime over the next 1 mth, & they have no idea when that will happen yet! It's predicted to be the most serious in 50 years (that just makes it sound really bad, doesn't it?), but the consolation is that the meteorological dudes could predict it at least 3-5 days earlier, so we'd have ample time to fly off if it does come during our stay.....
2) Huge demonstrations at the PM's office for the past few days, but I guess it's nothing new. Anti-PM parties organized the rally and have been trying to force the current PM to stand down, and apparently the crowd reached a few thousand people each day. Note to myself: steer clear of the demo area!
Leaving with an empty luggage tmr as we expect to fill it up with our shopping spree! Will try to take pics and post it when I'm back next monday =)
