Thai Protests 2013: Who to Follow on Twitter…
Yes, the Thai protests are STILL going on. I was hoping they’d be over by now, but oh no. Seriously? I hope this protest is finished before I complete writing this post! Anyway… similar to Staying Safe in Thailand: Streetwise Advice + Twitter, I wanted to share a bunch of twitter people for you to follow in this latest Thai kerfluffle.
If you only have time for one twitter account it’d have to be Richard Barrow’s.
Richard Barrow: (Travel blogger): @RichardBarrow
And here’s Richard’s Bangkok Dangerous Google Map
This morning Richard made a request: if you are running around Bangkok and see any action, do tweet your photos and news to his account. Please do (the more eyes and ears sharing, the better).
And now to the rest of the twitter peeps…
