Reading Sally's post I noticed she missed one thing; that 9 bombs went off in Bangkok last night!!
To be honest the first I heard of it was rolling over and seeing a bunch of messages on my phone. I was so hungover that I though the phone was deliberately tricking me to make me move. However, it really is kind of odd that we weren't aware last night, given we were hanging in a very busy strip. It's so odd that everyone was so calm. While the Age is painting a a picture of pandemonium the truth is the cops and army look as blaise as ever. Sure, they checked my bag on the way in but nothing like the almighty clampdown that we would receive in Melbourne in similar circumstances.
It's also interesting that no motives or rationale have been established. I have been reading the Nation (a Thai English newspaper) like a big nerd and they could only provide very vague speculation. Thai politics really seems to have it all, in good ways and bad ways.
