The Chaos Continues

I must admit that this whole thing has gone alot farther than I ever expected it to. Follow the links below to see some of the recent coverage by the BBC. The videos are quite revealing as to the magnitude of the events going on here.

This first video is of Saturday's protests that left 20 dead and over 800 injured. This is the largest clash to date in the current conflict.

The second video was taken today (Sunday) as the press and locals viewed the aftermath. The military had backed down leaving an entire armored column behind. An impressive feat by unarmed protesters using homemade bombs.

The worst is all situated down south, but things have been ramping up here in the north as UDD protesters have stormed government building here in Chiang Mai and Udon Thani this weekend. As always, I just try to "fly low" and keep my head down. I've got enough problems without getting in the middle of all that. Please keep the people and leaders of Thailand in your prayers. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail. I've heard some pretty big "booms and bangs" here this weekend, but no corresponding fireworks to light up the sky. Spooky at best.
