After my pilates class and a round of foot massage and mani-pedi about almost 4 hours later, the crowd was still there.It was still a peaceful demonstration, but noises louder than before. I thought it was kinda bizarre to see the Reds directing traffic and all. There were blockades everywhere and I saw on the Thai news channel that they were all congregating at Central World. Incidentally, I also received a news update stating that Siam Paragon, Siam Centre and Siam Discover Shopping Mall were closed at 1pm today. The vehicles on the main road outside my Soi have yet to dissipate at 4pm as I walked my way home:

One can only speculate what’s going to happen next. For now, while it did seemed rather chaotic, everything looks peaceful still. Actually, it’s almost like a carnival out there. I can only wonder why anyone in the right mind would want to stand around blocking roads in the sizzling hot sun. All they were doing apart from contributing more to traffic and noise pollution, were making a lot of noise, sleep, eat, chit-chat and walking around as if they were having a time of their lives while waiting around for some instructions.

I’m really doubtful if they know or aware what they are actually fighting for. The whole thing to me almost looked kinda silly and really pointless!
