Saranrom update: little activity
Thursday 29.05.2014
Coming from Chatuchak, I took bus 8 to Saphan Phut. From
there, you can have a look at Saphan Phut market (mainly clothes) at flower
market along Maharat road. Walking time about 22:40 to 23:00.
On previous trips, I used to come from north, spending some
time in Khao San and Klong Lot market, and now by chance found that you can go
to Saphan Phut and flower market when you come from south, everything is at the
right place and time.
There was only little activity at Saranrom, only about 10 boys from 23:00
to 23:50. Some boys I remember from before, one boy who remembers me from
Pattaya two weeks ago (not the first boy who saw me in Pattaya and then
approached me in Saranrom). Noticed some customers cruising in cars or on
motorbikes.
23:45 a mocy driver stops and announces that it’s time to go
home because there is a curfew at midnight. I ask a boy, that was police in
civil clothes. The boys and I leave shortly after.
There was no presence of police or army and the protest site
in front of Ministry of Interior has been cleared. City Walk karaoke was
closing around 23:30 (official closing time now midnight due to curfew).
This lack of activity is probably due to current political
situation. Will be back soon.
Seed - where was it before and where now? I don't remember it being on the web sites or maps. I cant find details in previous blogs.
