Thailand's highest court rules ...

... opposition protests that have paralysed capital for months are legal

There should be a law: Public demonstrations are legal, but you pay the costs of security and damage and lost wages claims

Two Parade day on I.T.U. minutes apart

Heard this obnoxiously loud music and announcements a few blocks from my house.
9:30 am was really too early for a wild party in the Neighborhood.

When I arrived at the main road I saw what I perceived an advertising parade.  
Complete with police escort.

Notice how many vehicles with mounted speakers. 
Of course the volume was obnoxious.
Four vehicle simulcast

I had just returned home when I heard marching music.
Kids parade by a local school.

Pardon me, but dressing up young girls as Vegas showgirls just doesn't seem appropriate to me in a children parade. I tend to be a bit prudish in public.

The bands where actually very impressive sounding.
