The Return of the Red Shirts in Bangkok

Next week, September 17th to be precise, marks 4 years since the 2006 Military Coup that ousted Thaksin, the Prime Minister of the time in Thailand. 

Bangkok is still under a State of Emergency so political rallies are illegal and will be broken-up.

The red shirts, however, are planning events to mark the coup so it will be interesting to see if these will be as peaceful as the red shirt cleaners are claiming.

I thinkmit will be a good idea to stay close to home around this date to make sure we are not stranded somewhere if they cancel the sky train or MRT.
