FAR FROM DANGEROUS IN BANGKOK

Philip Golingai has written an interesting story for The Star in Malaysia. Quoting a Bangkok taxi driver he writes :"Just look outside, it's sabai sabai (Thai for relax),” he said, pointing at the business-as-usual scene 1km from Government House, which was seized by the anti-Samak People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) last Friday. It is not andtaraai (dangerous) in Thailand. There are 65 million people in Thailand and there are only 100,000 Thais protesting.”
I keep writing that it's life and business as usual for the vast majority of Bangkokians and this article, while looking at the possibility of the situation changing quickly, certainly gives a balanced view of life on the streets.
