I am ok and stay in the curfew night now while Central World building is collapsing as well as burning Siam Square and Siam Paragon; also the Stock Exchange of Thailand. It is the most bitter moment in my life. It is different than when you have a broken heart from a break up or losing love ones. This is losing of the country and integrity. The country is in pause. I pray to see all this mess stop and I hope I can be a part to help my country recover back to where we used to be.I know Bangkok will come back from this, because of people like Dao – citizens who believe in their country and seek peace. Dao once gave me a beautiful book called The Happiness of Kati, which is about a young girl who perseveres through great loss. She said it explained a lot about the essence of being Thai. That gives me faith, too, that Bangkok will soon be vibrant once again. Want to know when a new post is up? Subscribe to my RSS feed and follow me on Twitter!
I’m so sad about this. One of my dear friends in there with her hubby and baby, and although they are safe now, she is afraid. I hope for peace soon.
Glad to know your friends are safe, Krista. Fortunately, it seems that the violence was contained in certain areas of the city.
