Tensions in Bangkok continue to rise (video)
Tensions in Thailand's capital seem to be rising further. Today, protesters entered a military complex. Despite this, the warring parties do not budge.
Large numbers of red shirts are expected from the province tomorrow. It is hoped that confrontations between the two groups will not occur.
No early elections
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra told the BBC today that she does not intend to call early elections. She also said she did not want to order violence against the demonstrators, despite the occupation of the ministries in the capital. The prime minister called on protesters to cease their actions last night after she survived a vote of no confidence in parliament. The leader of the protest movement, Suthep Thaugsuban, ignored that call. Thaugsuban said he will make working in the ministries impossible.
Army Headquarters
This morning, a mob of XNUMX men entered the grounds of the army high command. The demonstrators were stopped at the buildings on the site. The demonstrators called on the military to take their side. They later left the area peacefully.

Watch the video below:
Despite the disturbing messages, I drove from Pranburi to Bangkok today by minibus. There I was in Lat Prao, Chatuchak, Victory Monument and in Silom Road near Silom Village and the Pullman Hotel. There was nothing wrong, except that the Skytrain was very full.
Drove home in the evening, again from Victory Monument.
Fortunately, as long as you don't go into the neighborhoods where there are government buildings (and as far as I know I hardly ever go there), you won't notice much of the political happenings.
Nice to hear! We arrive in Bangkok next Monday and hope that we can stay there for a few more days without too many problems…
Regards,
Marianne
And with us there are also more and more buses going to Bangkok.
The stadium is slowly filling up I saw on TV today.
It is also the talk of the day here in my village.
That one is yellow and that one is for the red one.
My wife came home this morning with the story that that and that pop and mom shop in our village is yellow-owned.
The owner did not have a good word for Yingluck .
I thought it was very stupid to make such statements on a Saturday morning with customers in your store .
In a place and environment where you may know that the majority are Red-minded.
So I said to my spouse , she had better keep her valve in front of her .
She went there and to other shops to sell the papaya from two papaya trees that had fallen yesterday as if they were top heavy.
Hoping for a better future for Thailand.
Greetings Jantje.
