So hoping this blows over soon and it goes back to normal.

Pattaya has seen no problems as yet.

The new International airport is South of Bangkok and 75 mins North of Pattaya so people not staying in Bangkok should be OK.

but are there similar happenings going on elsewhere in the country?

There are demonstrations in many parts of the country. Lets hope that it will calm down over the next days.

The state of emergency in Bangkok is over.

Samak resigned as prime minister, probably Somchai Wongsawat will become the next prime minister of Thailand.

But nobody is sure if this will end the protests.

But at least something happens.

In the last few days Bangkok was nearly back to normal. But yesterday a new wave of violence broke out and 2 people got killed and over 250 got injured.

I hope the situation will calm down soon, i will be back in LOS in 6 weeks.

At least until now the life in Bangkok goes on like normal except of the government district (Dusit). I talked to some friends who live there and everybody is afraid that the country is heading to a civil war.

I'm in Bangkok on the 3rd of November , I just hope they dont close down Nana as I should be safe in that area .
I might stay away from some of the other tourist places but will try and get a local as a guide just incase.

Civil war . We’ll se about that but if situation is not deteriorating then there is no reason to worry. I our country people like to demonstrate a lot so I’m just used to avoid the crowds with such intentions.

[Recoil111]

but if situation is not deteriorating then there is no reason to worry.

I agree with that. I spoke with a friend who came back from Bangkok yesterday and he didnt noticed anything about the problem (except on tv of course).
