Bombing in Bangkok

I am ok. Still alived!
 
Bangkok got car bombed twice last night (one at 6pm and one a bit before midnight, total of 6 car bombs), so all the new year celebration got cancelled. We went to Khao San Road. There were a lot of people and even lot more police/army with guns. The atmosphere was quite festive despite the news of car bombs. Right after count down, probably around 12:05AM, all the military guys came through the street and tried to disperse the crowd. All restaurants stop received new customers and started to kick people out. Music in clubs stopped playing. By 12:30AM, the street was quiet.
 
Right now, I am waiting for the overnight bus to Koh Pha Ngan. However, the location where I am suppose to wait for them to pick me up is closed and the cell phone number provided doesn't seem to work. I am very worry!
 
Will write more later. Hopefully from Koh Pha Ngan.
