Bangkok Blogger|Tales from Thailand

Tomorrow is supposed to be the big day when the pro-Thaksin red shirts descend on Bangkok to protest.

Rumours are flying around from the believable (50,000 will arrive) to the slightly more wild (snipers and looting at Central World).   I’ll probably be staying in and watching it on TV if they haven’t shut down all the local TV stations as reported by some newspapers.

Fingers crossed it all goes off peacefully.

Just spied a group of red shirts down by Silom on my way home just now.  I seem to recall reading they are protesting at the branch of Bangkok Bank down there.

The road was cordoned off and there were a few police there on motorcycles so I couldn’t get close enough to see how many of them there were.

Lets hope it doesn’t turn nasty!
