I’m sad today for a number of reasons. Tension has escalated with a bomb thrown into groups of protestors. Things are turning more violent. I have no idea who is behind the bomb or who is behind the protests. It’s your word against mine. I am also sad for other private reasons I’d rather not…

Politics is a serious topic and the situation in Bangkok isn’t getting any better soon. I wonder everyday how it will all end, will there be bloodshed? Will this end in civil law? Will the protestors get tired and disperse? (I doubt it) Will the government step down? (I don’t think they will either) When…

Yesterday was Children’s day. Entire families were out en masse watching airplanes, dancing, singing and having quality family time. Shops and restaurants were filled and everywhere there was a queue. You’d think food was being given out for free. Tomorrow, it’s the Bangkok Shutdown. Literally. Major roads and intersections will be filled protestors, protesting against…

The past few days I’ve been thinking a bit about life. Having had so far a pretty active weekend joining the Cancer Care run for charity on Saturday and watching the Honda LPGA Thailand one can’t help but to contemplate a bit about life while relaxing one’s soul. Life really is quite a journey.…

Happy Songkran everyone! It’s the Thai New Years now and how wonderful it is to have a peaceful one filled with sounds of laughter, happiness and splashes of water. It’s a great way to cool down during the hot summer weather where the sun burns in the mid thirties (Celsius). I won’t dwell on Songkran…
