Is Ploenchit, (approaching from Wittayu) open to vehicular traffic, and exiting on Langsuan?

Could they perhaps apply it to the many cars parked outside the police station on Wireless, (that presumably belong to the police). This occurred after the latest recent crackdown on illegally parked cars. But perhaps of course it only applies to some and not others, like all laws in this country.

Let me ask them.

Who's going to buy Thai government bonds for this scheme in this environment? Better have a pretty hefty coupon on it.

Thanks guys, I had the Condo Act S.36, and Savills provided me with a JD.

Sathorn Wittayu open as at 5 pm. Thai/Belgian bridge is partially open, but very limited use, because Thai/Japanese bridge at Silom/Rama IV still appears to be closed. Obviously traffic very congested on Sathorn and at the intersection.

Thai Belgian at 5pm:

Thanks. That's pretty clear, and much appreciated. (Your clarity, not the protest march!)

Anyone any information of Ploenchit today. Last night Suthep said he would lead a march from Asoke to Ploenchit/Langsuan intersection. Any confirmation that is taking place?

Protesters currently at Department of Aviation buildings just off Suan Phlu; noisy, but stationery, having walked along Sathorn Road (Tai) at lunchtime from Rama IV direction.

Because we need to appoint a new one and he has requested it.

Does anyone posess a comprehensive Job Description for a JPM that they could post here or forward?

Many thanks.

Sathorn Nua at around 6 pm - Suthep leading March to Lumpini

Protesters currently marching on inside lane of Sathorn Nua (north), going towards Rama IV.

Walked back from Ploenchit to Sathorn at around 4.45pm and noticed that gates of Lumpini are now open again. Yesterday's closure perhaps just the result of precautions ahead of the march from there this morning.

Except in Malaysia they have a monarchy. So his option is Prime Minister.

The closure of Lumpini is an annoying, worrying and irritating development, having enjoyed its quirky charms yesterday, as on many a Sunday midday. There was a strange atmosphere, I have to say, however.

I've made Beef Wellington from Australian grass-fed beef tenderloin, available here in Central Food Hall, in Bangkok. Don't Central supply it up there too? Caesar Salad is a regular on our menu at home here, (usually with slices of cold steamed chicken). Both quite easy to make, if you can cook. (And I hope I'm not being smart-arsed here, it's just that I prefer to cook at home most of the time, when I know the ingredients are good.)

Beef wellington "quick " to make ? Must be another yank that thinks beef wellington originates from Mcd's !

And ---------who "tosses table-side"

Actually, I'm British, and as noted, I did not say "quick". Cooking well is not an impossible artform. (And I hope I'm not being smart-arsed...but no doubt you will interpret as you choose.) Ar*ed should have been an indicator.

Corruption is endemic and institutionalized here, with or without Thaksin's involvement, and backed by some very big players. Thaksin and his cronies are corrupt, but consider this:

Do people really believe that Thaksin is solely responsible for all the corruption that Thailand suffers and endures, or that his brand of corruption is an worse or any different than that of the other leeches who have been bleeding the people of Thailand dry for so long?

Do people really believe that the Thaksin's influence is wholly responsible for the day to day corruption perpetrated by the back street gangsters and mafia bosses where I live.

Where I work, the local cops get paid of by the bloke who sells copy DVD's outside 7/11, the street vendors pay off the market inspectors and the local money lender operates in plain view. Who's responsible for that? Thaksin?

People have short memories. The past and recent history of Thailand's corruption - political or otherwise - is littered with cases: The Klong Dam project, the Hopewell project and the Klong Chan Credit Union scandals to name but a few.

Politics in Thailand is a business opportunity, plain and simple.

When the Thaksin influence finally dissipates, you can bet with 100% certainty that there will be others - the usual suspects? - who will pick up the pieces and carry on as they have always done.

I agree arthurboy. And sadly, I don't think this so-called Reform Movement will address any of the issues effectively. I do not anticipate seeing any change in the way things are run and done in Thailand in my lifetime, or within the lifespan of my children, (if I had any).

Like I said, "I have a dream...".

But, I have to applaud any attempt to at least recognise that the issue of corruption is a severe problem for the future growth of this country. Implementation is quite another matter, but in the last 10 years that I have lived here there has been a seismic change in attitude by Thais as to how they want to live their lives. Whether that attitude can make palpable changes is open to question, but the status quo ante ship has sailed.

It will be a bumpy ride for the next 50 years.

Thanks. My antivirus updates automatically, but I'll re-run a check.

Rama IV between Thai Belgian and Thai Japanese bridge eerily quiet at 11.30 today with bridge closed and RIV partially blocked.

Lumpini much less busy than usual - not the usual Sunday strollers, joggers cyclists. Tent city at the R V entrance, (which I did not explore), but noisy from that area, with music and the man with a mic scenario with which we are familiar in this city, even in normal times. Also some tents in pockets not in the main area, near the RIV entrance:

and on the Rajadamri/Sarasan corner:

Park looking a bit unkempt, but still a delightful place to enjoy the cool weather, providing you don't stray into the main encampment; there are no problems there, but I would just advise avoiding it.

Does anyone else keep getting this:

Is there some way of getting rid of it?

Only comes up with some URLs, (such as Kickass).
