Last week it was the Asian Summit in Pattaya when the "United Front for Democracy against dictatorship", other wise known as the red shirts converged on Pattaya. There demonstrations forcing the closure of the summit with the world leaders in attendance being heloed away.
To regain control a state of emergency was declared by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva which in effect pushed the demonstrators back to Bangkok.
Protesters and police have clashed a new in Bangkok, reports of anywhere from 44 to 70 people injured. Reports of streets being blocked, bus and train service halted but my Air Asia flight is still on for Wednesday. I tried to push back my flight but they have set 48 hours as the minimum time frame to change flights and I arrived 45 hours before and was told - "we have our rules so either use the flight or lossthe ticket".
