The situation in Bangkok has continued from the weekend and into the start of the work week. Â I’ve been keeping an eye on things as I’m due to spend time in the city soon. Â My brother Dan (situated in the city, physiotherapy but at the outskirts of the skirmishes) assures me that life continues as normal, case albeit with more traffic jams due to public transportation systems shut down. Â In Chiang Mai, for sale there are reports of red shirts rallying at public venues but life is normal here. Â I’m doing fine, dealing with the regular stresses of to-do lists and writing reports 🙂
Please pray for Thailand – for open and honest dialogue between the parties involved and a peaceful resolution to this situation.
