The red shirts have give the PM 24 hours to step down.
Might be a very interesting week ahead. Avoid Bkk if possible.

They have also surrounded the compound where PM is which also happens to be army barracks, more troops have been sent to protect him and the barracks

Quote from the paper
"Reinforcements of troops have been called from the Second and Third Army Regions to the 11th Infantry Regiment in Bangkok after the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship announced red-shirt protesters would go there on Monday if the government did not respond to its call for House dissolution, said the website of the peace-keeping operation centre."

In my opinion violence is inevitable.
I do not believe red shirts will target foreigners, however Bangkok is a ghost town, in the sense that hardly any "normal" people are out, traffic and road blocks.

Saying the above give the mob enough of unlimited alcohol and everything is possible.
We are not talking about scientists conference, we are talking about thousands of farmers and unemployed under the same umbrella and lots of alcohol.

Just to the maths and use common sense, unless going to BKK is essential-i would keep as far away as possible

LOL
In that case refer to my guide earlier
1. Always make sure to have 1 red piece of clothing. Should you run into "red" trouble
2. Always have 1 yellow piece of clothing. Should you run into "yellows"
3. Always have 1 green piece of clothing, should you run into cops or army, this way you can claim you just in fashion!
4. Do not go out topless, as you could be raped by the ladyboys


all you need is a cameroon football shirt (red / yellow / green) lol ..

Basically at all times, wear red shirt,yellow shorts and green shoes.


Dude, that is funny as fuck...why not just get an Italian flag t-shirt, good to go! Everyone knows the Italians are lovers, not fighters! And, the colors work perfectly!

Cheers, Alex

I hope they burn the place down to be honest; nothing is going to get sorted out here until something very drastic happens. As it is the political impasse in Thailand will continue on with each side crying foul.
