ThaiHome Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hopefully all they will do is setup roadblocks to prevent people from going into the occupied area. How the redshirt security will react to that will be interesting. I do note that since the grenades on the Army checkpoint at the Lumpini Park gate, the Army is now using sandbaged emplacements. There is a small one right on Wireless in front of the Night Market. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acockasian Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Unfortunately this has the potential to be a real bloodbath but it seem there is not really any other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I hope the army Karaoke singer is still on duty at Asoke - he has gained a good following during the evening walk home from the Asoke Station. Always a bunch of foreigners taking photos of him. Plus he is a good singer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelgianBoy Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Finally ! After so long of nothing and inaction and fear of loosing face, Thailand will clean up its act. Better late than never, so many $$$ have been lost by so many. ( including me as future tenants cancelled their 4 month summer holiday in Huahin ) BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
