State of Emergency

Today the redshirts stormed parliament and the Government declared a state of emergency. This will affect me and Steve very little for three reasons
1) the state of emergency just gives the government slightly more enforcement power. But really, they havent been using all the power they had to start with with the Internal Security Act. The state of emergency could just be more posturing by the government.
2) both red and yellow shirts love farang. Unless we were to actively enter some fray it would take some serious bad luck or stupidity to put us in harms way for now.
3) A week off school is comming up, and that means traveling. Right now its looking like im heading back into the northern mountains and then to laos. Steve is looking at possible island options and then also intends to meet in laos.

So really the question will be what kind of Bangkok will we return to.

(and yes i know im way behind on the cambodia posts, but eventualy ill catch up...but likely not before this next bout of travel)
