Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Back in Thailand

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Hi guys, well I’m back in Thailand, in Krabi right now. Luckly I missed the bombings at the border areas I crossed yesterday. That area has been a little tense in the last while. There was a increased military presence there, and I met some travelers in Malaysia, who were told not to cross there or came across in the train with high security onboard. Well I think we can all agree that planting bombs isn’t the right way to gain independance, but check out how the Thai government dealt with it.
