Bangkok residents are stirred up today

Today's small explosions in Bangkok is like a wake up call for Thai police nation wide. Perhaps they have been too relaxing in the past year. This was either a coordinated attempt by insurgents from the south to stir up Bangkokians a bit to show that they are still relevant, or an attempt by a group affiliated with politicians from former goverment to undermine the present Thai goverment. My businessman friends have been worrying about this for over a year, and this is just an event that will eliminate their fears. Now that what was feared has become a reality, perhaps we the public need to be more vigilant about our neighborhoods, workplaces, and where we go, but lives will go on as usual. Whatever that will happen, we can not control. Bad people will be caught up and punished with their bad karma oneday. This is Buddhist faith.
