BANGKOK GETTING BACK TO NORMAL
Bangkok is getting back to celebrating Songkran, the Thai New Year, and the only thing being thrown in my street is water.
The mall at the end of my street is open and packed, although I believe that some of the shopping centers located in the center of the city are still closed as a precaution. One question I have; who writes the travel advice issues by foreign embassies?
Right now British citizens in Bangkok are still being advised to "to stay indoors and to monitor the media and this travel advice." Those considering travel to the Thai capital are currently (2.30pm) being warned not to travel unless their visit is "absolutely essential".
Embassies and authorities are rightly quick to issue advice when the situation necessitates but they should be equally quick to amend such advice when the situation returns to relative normal.

I honestly and truly believe that the news people only like to embrace the bad stuff anywhere around the world as this seems to be the best way they can invent to sell their newspapers and news reports. We very rarely see "good" things that are happening but I am sure there are many of them so let's stay positive and lessen the hype of the bad. I love Thailand and this won't stop me from revisiting that lovely country. Good luck. JC
