LarryO Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I passed through BKK on Sunday. Roads were clear until we went past a stadium (sorry don't know which one). Taxi driver couldn't explain clearly the commotion. Later I found out it was a red shirt rally. Now I grew up around North Kensington (Notting Hill for those unsure of the geography) & lived I Brixton in the early eighties. For non British I should explain that during the 70's &80's there were massive riots in London. But in all that time I never saw anything like the preparations the Thais were making in case it kicks off. Is anything imminent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopite Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Probably but I'm sure they will not want a repeat of last time hence the heavy presence. Did you just see a alot of police or military too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just see a alot of police or military too? Looked like coppers, but saying that not brown uniforms. Definitely a riot squad, shields, batons. Didn't make out any serious weaponry. All seems quiet though. Nothing on the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
