Not saying there is nothing to be concerned about, as I certainly am, but people there don't seem as bothered as I would expect, LOL.

Yea I don't mean to paint the situation as a huge disaster or anything, just that there seems to be some political changes there in Thailand that are kind of waiting to happen. Not sure what changes exactly but there seems to be a division between the city folks and the rural folks, to simplify things somewhat. In the past there has been the tsunami and it's effect on westerners, including Finns so this situation is followed quite closely in Finnish media.
