Accomplish Nothing


U.S. Embassy BKK informs U.S. citizens...

... that protest activity continues in several areas throughout greater Bangkok, including at a new protest site at the intersection of Ploen Chit and Wireless Roads near the U.S. Embassy.  In addition, police have recently taken action in attempts to regain control over a number of protest sites. Plan ahead for the possibility of traffic and other potential disruptions in downtown Bangkok.

Sakon Nakhon FC at Amnat Charoen Town FC

Game time 17:00

It's a new season, a somewhat rebuilt Sakon Nakhon FC team.
You can't rely on past history to predict the outcome.

I don't have the complete history, but from the statistics I have:
in competition with Amnat Chroen, Sakon Nakhon wins on the road and looses at home.

In the past both teams were closely matched. 
Sakon Nakhon FC placed 11th, Amnat Charoen placed 13th last season.

Every Day is Halloween at Wal-mart

Thailand's highest court rules ...


My Opinion
No mention of destruction of property, hindering others from earning a living...
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.
