Bangkok.




Accidentally wandered into the heart of the action in downtown Bangkok yesterday. (It's a long story.)
Troops; razor wire; police; riot shields; redshirts; barricades. All was quiet except for the bit which I have not seen reported anywhere - the fact that as far as we could see, the pro-government demonstrators outnumbered the redshirts - and were noisier. Why unreported? (
Apologies for the quality of that photo but do notice the wording in English (?) on the banner.)
My wife clearly knows how to 'get revolutionaries onside.'
