BANGKOK, THAILAND – Attempts to move around central Bangkok are frustrating, what with the main Red Shirt encampment covering a fair part of Rama I Road from near the end of Sukhumvit Road, directly under the Skytrain west of Ploen Chit station.

Thai soldiers deployed through the streets of Bangkok.
