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.
hi
chanced upon your blog whilst searching for food blog about bangkok food. i am flying to bangkok this friday and is worried about the red shirt rally. i will be staying in silom area. is the traffic really bad?? hope to get some info on the rally… thanks!
They are planning another march through Bangkok this weekend so it will depend on the route they take as to how easily you will be able to get around.
I expect it will be safe though.
thank you
