Buzzing Bangkok!
... 8230;….While the temple complex was stunning, the number of police officers, stores of riot gear, tents etc left us a bit wary! As we later discovered from a tuk tuk driver, this was all in apparent preparation for a demonstration by the Yellow Shirts against the current Thai government.
