    Will Shopping be safe again ?

    Was thinking to go shopping today, but with all the rampant reds hiding and waiting to strike at anything that looks like a shopping mall, I wonder if shopping will ever be safe again in Bangkok.

    I am sure many share the same concern,

    Central ? or Emporium ? can they really be safe ? their security don't seem to be very effective to stop someone from burning the place.

    Try your local Tescos - damn good security there!

    Shopping malls have fire exits - plenty of time to get out. I'm off to CentralWorld now, I just hope it doesn't collapse on me.

    The wife went to JJ Market today- she said (while not all the stalls were open) things were pretty much as usual.

    A 7 11 near me dumped a lot of its spoilt goods out on the road today, there was a pack of people going through it all. A bit grim...

    I had a quick rummage through the rotting and decaying food, which had been sitting in the hot sun for several hours, but oddly the yoghurts I like appeared to have been lifted before I got there. Bastards.

    Shopping is safe if you leave your credit cards at home.

    Anybody's guess when the BTS will reopen. MRT is opening tomorrow morning at 8am. Maybe a run down to Fortune IT mall and buy some DVD's - Ratchada seems like it would be an unlikely target of any craziness.

    Well done mate. A stiff upeer lip and all that.
    "We will fight them on the beaches" speech from Churchill will rouse the farang masses to shop again.
    F**k the reds. The best thing you can do is to carry on regardless and stick two fingers up at the "troubles" (IRA talk).
    Black diamonds? I shit 'em.

    I was in Carreffour, past the TV3 building, a few police and military there, but a crew were fixing up the place already and you couldn't tell anything bad happened

    the road was a bit damaged though, at several intersection

    people were shopping like crazy in Carrefour, buying Plasma and LCD like there were hot from the truck, guess it's a way to deal with stress

    If you mean clown by one of the best Prime Ministers any country has ever had, then yes I would agree with you!
    Anyways, just been going through your profile and checked out your history.
    Very intersting reading, you sad sad man.
    You wanna try and get a reaction out of me and get that nice warm smug loser glow in the pit of your stomach?
    Today's your lucky day 'cos it's buy one, get one free on winding up bogon!
    So 12Small what else you wanna pick at except calling me a prick after I've finished with you?
    Dude, I might still be a newbie, but I 'aint easy pickings!
    Back to my post. So why was Churchill a clown? You can wiki all the the tacticial mistakes during the war and I will keep hitting back with that he was the only PM in Europe to declare war on Hitler and WON!
    Bring it on spunkbubble!!!!!!
