should I go or should I stay?
With all the political troubles at the moment I am wondering whether to go ahead with my trip in April. Could those of you living in LOS give us regular updates on what is happening there? You would be in a much better position than us to know what was happening. I suppose I could just spend my entire holiday in Pattaya if things get out of hand in Bangkok, but then I would miss out on the delights of Siam Paragon, and especially Beard Papa.

If you are worried about political troubles in LOS then you will never go. This is a country that has had more coups than most others put together. It would be extremely unusual for any unrest to actually effect tourists except as before when they managed to close the airport for a few days.

Well, I was in Pattaya last the time of the Asean Summit and left immediately for Bangkok. Lots of places in the city just closed down, including the Skytrain, if I remember correctly.

And how many tourists were effected when they took over BKK for several weeks.

I pick AFFECTED because it is correct. EFFECTED has a completely different meaning. I wouldn't expect a taxi driver to know that, though.

I believe you've effected a bulls-eye there Fuck-Face, although I doubt that it has affected jinks.

How would I know? I had no way of counting them!
Hereforme, I was there last July. I have been going to Bkk and Pattaya for the last 5 years and on a couple of occasions have managed to almost bypass Songkran by careful planning.
Re: should I go or should I stay?
nobody really cares and no one really knows..it is a crapshot and the odds are good but
hey some guys wear belts and suspenders and make sure their tightie whities are ironed.. :blackeye:
I forget what the Brits call 'suspenders'..&
some farangs go bareback and some double up on
the condoms (bad idea as they rub and break)..
some don't even dare with condoms and take no chances at all....mai pen rai
it is up to you..
