Crazy night... I was with my Thai girlfriend 30 minutes before in the same area before he bomb went off!! She lives right near it and wanted to go home and changed while I went to check out some bars. I was only 200 metres away when people started running like crazy down the street towards the beach. I went into the middle of the road and tried to film it but my camera is fucked on my phone so we went back to the bar and drank more cause we thought it was a bomb threat. I didn't hear the bomb go off cause of he music at a local bar. People were crying and in a panic, it was like being in a movie but I'll never forget the fear which I found exciting We stayed for another 30 minutes before all bars where shut down and we heard someone had died and someone with blood on their arm.

I only heard now that my Thai girlfriend that she knew the one person that was killed.

Hua Hin is in lockdown where we are told to stay at home where I'm about 5km out of Hua Hin. I've heard there has been about 4 bombs in Hua Hin in 24 hours, one at the clock tower, train station so i'm just going to chill in my room with my girl for no and drink some Red Label.

I think ill stay stay away from the tourist places for another week and stay home until things die down. Thailand has been hit hard...

My phone was at 80% before I went to bed but when i woke up it was flat from my mum ringing me.

What a rush!!!
