Utthayan Road in Thawi Watthana district.

I'll add the fools guide: across the bridge from the Grand Palace/Khaosan Rd, past Pinklao then straight up for about 30kms until you hit the Bangkok boundary with Nakhon Pathum, close to Mahidol University.

Fox Thai, sadly if you think back the commercials changed to Thai language after the new channel alignment, I guess that Thai bit means it is cut. CNN BBC and the international channels are still up.

I suggest you call the cops.


...for a laugh.

This situation has the potential to get really, really messy. The difference v. 2006 is that today there is a Red Shirt movement... and some guy somewhere who commands an elite unit of armed forces who might be not so pleased with the latest development.

CNN just gone...

The Right Wing Royalists bare their teeth - unleash their dogs. All to play for, all pretense of a democratic nation thrown to the wind.. Protect our right to drive Ferraris!
