I arrived in Bangkok yesterday after three glorious days in Phuket and I noticed immediately the negative energy here. Very different to past visits. There are not many people smiling and although the place seems quiet and calm, people don't look happy. Not surprising I suppose given recent events. But it is like there has been a disturbance in "the force" in the land of smiles. While you may be able to avoid the demonstrations you can't avoid the atmosphere. I am sorry I came. This is not the place I remember and love. I should have stayed in Phuket.
