Geez there sure seem to be a ton of journalists at these protests. Almost more than soldiers and protestors combined. Everywhere cameras!

2:20pm RT @AndrewBuncombe: Crowd at Ratchaprasong seems to be growing in numbers. Looks like they are setting off for Victory Monument

Might be 1,000+ people protesting today. If it keeps gathering steam, this has the potential to attract others that up to now were scared

Tried to find an appropriate thread for this bit of information, this thread seems the best.

 

On Friday morning the border crossing to Laos at Nong Khai was closed to Foreigners (both ways), and Thais exiting Thailand.

 

By the afternoon, Foreigners (me) were allowed into Thailand and out again today (Sunday). There's a significant Army presence checking faces and passports of everyone exiting Thailand.

 

But friendly fellows, the soldiers were.

 

Got stopped four times in 10 minutes by police trying to shake me down for money though. 200 bht no seatbelt.

Around 3.30 p.m, the army searched the house of Somyot Phueksakasemsuk, an editor of pro-red magazine and now sentenced to 11 years in prison for lese majeste. The army took Sukanya Phrueksakasemsuk, wife of Somyot who's been campaigning for political prisoners, and his son Tai Phrueksakasemsuk, 4th year Law student from Thammasat University. According to Sukanya, the army also took away their two computer laptops.

Around 3pm the summoned people have been transported from the Army's auditorium through an alternative gate to unidentified military camp.

Some context for the reported detention of Sukanya Pruksakasemsuk: her husband Somyot is jailed for #lesemajeste since April 2011.

I'm just trying to get it confirmed about a change in curfew hours. If true it means it will only be midnight-4am in Bangkok & 23 provinces.
