Aren't you concerned that there seems to be a coup every second week blockading the airport and then every other week someone is arrested for accidentally insulting the King? I'd feel a little edgy living their as a foreigner!


There has only been one airport blockage in history and three "coups" this decade, which is just political factions of elites fighting with each other in the background. Life goes on as normal for most of thailand, no matter if there is coup going on or not. The king thing is really nothing to worry about, you'd have to be really stupid to get in trouble for that.


I worry about road traffic accidents and heart disease. You might like this book -
