    Default Bangkok: Please advise

    Calling Bangkok spcneters. I will be visiting Bangkok for a holiday in two weeks time. Will the protests die down by then? Is it advisable not to wear yellow or red? I am thinking of bringing two red T-shirts. Thanks much.

    I'm flying into Bangkok in a few hours. My friend said if we keep away from the government buildings and the protests, tourists shouldn't be affected. I don't think anyone wants to scare all the tourists away. Although I don't plan to wear any red or yellow while I'm there.
    I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

    How is everything there? Personally, I wouldn't go there because who know what the protesters are capable with. I wouldn't surprise if they take the tourists for hostage and use them as their bargaining chips.

    I've been here a few days already and I'm not worry about my safety at all. The protesters stay in their protest zones and don't really bother the tourists. I even walked through the protest zone and everything was fine.

    Good luck to you. It's not the case that the protesters want to go after tourists but sometimes things go wrong and the tourists are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
