So what's up in Bangkok now?

The red shirts have arrived in Bangkok, maybe not a million but ten's of thousands.    No violence so far, which is no surprise to me, most Thia's are just not like that, especially in the countryside. 

Now the government that's another story, they have a military and volience is what military do.   However, Thai vs Thai physical violence is hard to picture.

My concern is the "United Front for Democracy" wants Abhist Vejjajiva to step down  and open a new election and what goes down when it doesn't happen.  We have the elitists of Bangkok vs the workers from the countryside, what would Mao do in a situation like this and that is worrisome.

I've dispatched my best and only man, Victor, who is actually a fellow crazy who also hangs out here and is now in Bangkok, to buy a camera and get us photos.  At the moment he reports all is well on Sukumvit but he is ever vigilant and has shifted to a bar stool near the door.
