April Fool's but this is no joke

Sawat Dee Kah! I have to venture out among the red shirts today to purchase another large suitcase for all my goodies. The newspaper suggests that tourist avoid taxis and tuks in favor of the water taxi and the Sky Train. I catch a water taxi and ride down to the connection with the train. I am going to MBK. I get off at the suggested stop and walk directly into the store. Piece of cake! I realize this is a mall with four levels and it is swarming with people. I buy the largest suitcase I can find and start back to my hotel on the Sky Train. There is a sea of people in red shirts below me. I wait for the water taxi and it is jammed with people. I squeeze in, apologizing as I go for the large damn suitcase.

Have to pull the suitcase to the hotel and there are masses of people in front of me. I pardon my way through the throng until I am to my hotel and decide to stay in for the night. Sheesh!!!
