There seems to be some disgruntlement between the Yellow Shirts and the Red Shirts in Thailand, provoking strikes and riots and attacks. They were originally in Bangkok but have now spread into the northern regions of Thailand, including Chiang Mai.
Elizabeth and I have planned to be in Chiang Mai on the 6th of June, be on an American tour from the 6-10, take a train to Bangkok and be there for two days before we fly back to America.
This morning the American government issued a travel warning for Thailand, urging Americans to evacuate the country. That's no good.
As of this morning we were still sticking to the plan but we're going to have to wait a while to see if it's worth changing our plans. Hopefully this will calm down in the next few days or a week so that we can stick to our travel plans but if worst comes to worst we'll visit Singapore or somewhere else close to Malaysia and push back our Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Mai flight, hopefully also making it a Kuala Lumpur straight to Bangkok flight so we can fly right out from there.
I'll keep yall updated but hopefully the Yellow and Red meet some kind of Orange soon.
