Because of stupid posts like this, I will no longer be posting any first hand information on this thread. I am living in Bangkok and watching this unfold on local news. You just lost your source. Have a nice New Years.

killjoy, I think you miss the point. Here in the United States there were coordinated attacks by Muslims on September 11, 2001. Instead of targeting the source of the attacks (Muslims) everyone in America has to deal with restrictions on travel and other inconveniences.
The sarcasm you see is an outpouring of anger over political correctness trumping what some view as common sense.

As to what has happened, do you think these are attacks by or against the juntas? Any predominant vector for the attacks?

I find the posts distracting and immature as well, however the above explanation really is the reason for them. And I have to say I understand. The posts are less stupid than the media and the stripsearches of the Geritol set.

Beyond that, I would truly appreciate updates on the situation. I have a brother in Bangkok who hasn't checked in with me yet.

True enough, but the Quaker, Unitarian, etc. joke is now played out. They appear every time a new attack is perpetrated. Enough is enough. We got the point back in 2002. This is breaking news and it's not appropriate or necessary to make that point any longer. It is understood by all freepers that we are in a war to the death with islam. At this point we need facts and insights.
