Brent reports from Chiang Mai

Snippet of an email from Brent & Tawm. Brent (Renee's brother, my in-law) and his wife Tawm live in Chiang Mai (as mentioned previously). Worth sharing.

Right now everything seems to be ok in chiang mai, most of the action is
happening in bangkok. The military has taken over the country while the
prime minister was in America at the UN meetings. There has been a lot of
problems with the current gov't, they tried to blow up his car a few weeks
ago.
Our biggest concern is about what will happen with the next gov't and
what that means for us, so that is a big prayer request and next week i
have to go to the border to renew my visa, so that is anoter concern.
in regards to safety things... they are just telling
people to stay away from populated areas like malls and things for the next
little while until things get figured out. Will probably know more in the
next day or 2.
