Thailand Update

Bangkok , Thailand is in the state of emergency. This has been annuonced on Tuesday.
The protests in the Bangkok have already escalated and more aggressive when both parties , the pro-government and anti government protesters have clashed and has resulted to a lot of injuries and deaths. At 2:30 am this morning, 3 were killed at a local Thai tv station. On Tuesday, there was one killed and several injured at the clashes near the government house.
Meanwhile, the protesters are still continuing to block the main entrance of the Hatyai International Airport and has caused the cancellation of several flights.
Also in the news, a restaurant in Muang Songkhla was on fire. Witnesses said a man with a bag went to a toilet at the back and when he went out, an explosion was heard and fire engulfed the restaurant. There hasn't been any update whether this is related to the protests or not.
Oh, I just hope everything will come to an end and in the most peaceful way as possible. I'm sure the Thai economy is already suffering from these issues as more countries have already issued travel warnings against Thailand visits.
