One Night In Bangkok

I have to say, it was such a surreal experience this time in Bangkok. While walking down Silom, you will come across endless check points mandated by huge police and army forces carrying weapons and shields. Army vehicles, tanks, and bard wire were all dotted along the area.

The air was kind of tense but yet peaceful and everyone just kind of went along their daily lives. But a sense of solemn and sadness can be felt even when you're on the Sky Train.

The area that was taken over by the red shirts were just a mess and it's so sad to see a once vibrant and always busy area like Siam Square and Paragon becoming a deserted place.

One saving grace of this whole incident was the cute policemen and soldiers along Silom. Some of them were really cute and was even having some eye contact action with a couple of them while walking back to our hotel. Even the drag queens were flirting with them big time after their quiet shifts at DJ. It was so funny! And at this point, I was really missing my gals in Singapore. All the crazy nights and fun we had in Bangkok. You know who you are. Miss you gals so much!

Hopefully there won't be more blood shed and everything will be back to normal once again.

This one is for you G... xxx
