This was all because the Turkish bomber exited Thailand through one of those land border crossings.

Land borders are always a bit hit and miss. Hardly anyone ever has issues if they fly in. Just the fact you can afford the plane ticket seems to satisfy immigration at airports.

I am flying to Cambodia this weekend for a visa renewal so I will report if I have any problems.

I have to assume there will be a decent amount of time of national morning but once the power grabs start I'm at the least gonna have bags packed and be on alert.
It will be interesting times for sure but hard to believe that foreigners are going targeted in anyway. Still may not be a good idea to hang around if bullets start flying.
This is in regards to Bangkok. Somewhere like samui will probably be mellow.

they've already grabbed the power. the military handing back the country to red shirts is as likely hun sen allowing free elections.

what do you guys think of elvis's music? i think his music is despicable.

I thought the King was largely a ceremonial figure at this point, with no real governing power anymore?

Wouldn't be too difficult to move somewhere a bit quieter for a month or two until it dies down. Samui or Chiang Mai for example.

I don't think that's safe enough. We should all go back to our own countries and move into our mom's basement and never leave, but keep posting on this thread forever even though we don't live in Thailand and don't play poker.
On a serious note, any safety issues caused by political turmoil don't go beyond Bangkok, in other parts of Thailand you wouldn't even know anything was happening unless you watch the news. It obviously has negative effects on overall tourism but not a safety concern for people already here.

I want to see a dentist in patts. Is there much variance in quality of equipment/dentist for a simple cleaning? Or can I just yolo the one down the street?
