Political Demonstration May 30th & 31st

[Pentire]

I have been reading that large political demonstrations are expected to take place at the Royal Plaza and Sanam Luang in Bangkok on 30th & 31st May 2007.

May I suggest, unless you have strong opinions or are one of those thrill seekers, best avoided.

It will be very interesting to see how this goes.

I was there in 1992, it was the strangest atmosphere I have ever been in. I didn't know what was coming next (I wasn't there when it came either), but in hindsight, I bel;ieve many people did, but were still prepared to push on.

Thailand is a very different country to those days, the citizens are far more empowered than they were then.

I am however, inclined to think that the military are still as ignorant as they were then.
