Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Greetings from Bangkok
Couldn't get to ar15.com from over here, but I was able to cruise co-ar15.com at least. Wheels up to come back home in about 12 - but I figured I had to post from the other side of the world at least once...

Please have a safe flight home. I should have been asleep about 6 hours ago myself. See you on this side of the world soon.

Well, by now you are surely on your way home. I can only imagine what it's like for the citizens of Bangkok right now. The worse thing I could imagine is getting caught between the protestors and the government troops. Apparently that exact thing has happened to many folks, including some journalists.
You would think that one day journalists would wake up and realize that they are NOT a protected class.

You said Bangkok...
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
Now I'm rolling!
I NEVER would have expected that from YOU Friday!

Didn't go too hog wild on the food, since I've got diabetes, so have to take it easy on noodles and bread. A real pity, since I dig me some spicy pad thai.
For those of you who know the city, we hung out and toured mostly in the old city around chinatown (mostly rattanakosin), and avoided the tourist and shopping areas being occupied by the protesters. By doing so, we had no trouble, other than being some of the few tourists around in a large city, which tended to concentrate the scam artists and tuk-tuk drivers all around us.
I was changing clothes and showering three times a day, and drinking water bottles as fast as we could clean out 7-11 for more. It's SERIOUSLY HOT and very humid there. If I'd had more time on the ground, my body would probably have adjusted and not sweat so profusely any longer, but there wasn't enough time for that to happen.
Bangkok has to have more temples per square mile than any other city in the world - mostly buddhist.
