Boxed in
It's turning very nasty in our neighbourhood now. There's been gunfire and explosions throughout the day on Rama IV Road, and we've seen big plumes of black smoke from our balcony. This evening the Red Shirts have set up a barricade 150m the other way, round the corner, where Egon & family live. They're one of just four families left now in a block of 50 apartments. Our trusty taxi driver, Khun Kantapong, has agreed to wind his way round the backstreets to pick us up tomorrow morning and take us to a hotel near the airport - where our friends Xavier & Irena are. Hopefully we'll be able to return in a few days? Just need to get through tonight.

Hopefully we're reaching the end game. Is proximity to airport deliberate?! Any serious talk of evacuating staff yet?
ReplyDeleteAs things currently stand I'm due to leave family alone from tomorrow until 26th - business trips. Not too happy about that....
Can you send me your mobile to selbygreg@gmail?
Hang in there.
