    All of a sudden I am a bit unsettled; 10 days to go til the vacation and there is martial law in the kingdom and a 10PM to 5AM curfew (which is a real bummer) - how is the situation there in ground zero @wizardofOz?

    @TasBurrfoot in general peaceful pa rin naman dito.. people just getting on with their normal day-to-day lives as usual...

    although sa ratchaprasong (Siam Square, Central World, etc.) area.. andun yung mga protesta.. so parang sa Mendiola lang satin, kapag doon pupunta ang turista, iisipin nya na magulo.

    yesterday, i was just in chatuchak and then fortune town mall, and normal naman ang business and tourist visits.

    bummer lang talaga ang curfew, hanggang 9pm lang ang BTS and MRT, and ang mga malls and establishments maagang nagsasara dahil wala ng taong pwede lumabas..

    I wish I could have lived in the Kingdom before pero no opportunity for us there... Frequent visitor lang as we used to live in Singapore, less than 3 hrs away by plane.

    The trip was well and very good... Super busog kami ni wifey, kain lang ng kain every time! :)

    Tipong dito sa Australia, a Thai order will set us back for more than $15 in a decent restaurant. Whilst we were in Krabi and Bangkok naman, a very heavy meal for both of us plus coke will be less than $10 lang... SULIT!! :)

    Fave talaga namin ang Thai food... Much better than Filipino, Italian and Chinese food.
