I have accompanied what is happening in Thailand, where last night the militaries declared matial law. That means that public manifestations are prohibitted and that soldiers are occupying the streets and carrying heavy weapons after a long series of conflicts between pros and cons the current government.
Of course I am worried about you. When I was a kid in Latin America, the militaries, after tooking over the power through a coup d'état, committed the most ignoble crimes under the sponsorship of the United States. So I grew up with a strong aversion to all sorts of militaries. I just hope those infamies don't happen in Thailand, despite of the fact that a coup d'état is already a crime.
From this huge distance I am from Bangkok, I cannot offer you much protection in case there are violent conflicts on the streets. Just take care, because any man with a gun in his hand is always a potential monster.
