A departure from the usual.....

So I wanted to take this post to briefly address some of the concerns that have come my way regarding the political situation in Thailand.

Basically I want to stress that what's going on in Bangkok right now is in no way shape or form affecting us down south (i.e. in Kamala or Phuket even). And it certainly has nothing to do with foreigners. As someone recently pointed out, what is going on in Bangkok has to do with the Thai people expressing their rights as "democratic" citizens. It would be like being from another country during the protests that were taking place in 2003 in LA against the Iraq war.

In Kamala, the situation is even further removed. If I did not teach in a house that had a tv-I wouldn't even know there is a problem.

Please, everyone, thanks for your worries, but there is really no need. Kamala and Phuket are sound, beautiful and safe.
