I am currently in bali and will be arriving in BKK on may 22 (if still possible) and was planning on visiting the Asus service center on 1032 Rama IV rd. to replace a power cord for my laptop. Can someone please let me know if this area is still open for business? I tried calling their phone number once but nobody answered so I thought I'd try here. Any helpful response will be appreciated.

The Asus service center is at the west edge of the red shirt blockade on Rama IV, and it is was closed today.

I walked from Samyan MRT station eastward, until Thai soldiers prevented me from continuing along Rama IV. I took a southern loop, then N along Racha, and then W on Rama IV. Lots of burning tires and, as I tried to walk thru, red shirts yelled that the soldier's were live rounds. They weren't. I walked thru the thick smoke and, several hundred meters later, back to the soldiers that forced me off Rama IV. Their only concern was that I negotiated the smoke without a face mask. Despite the smoke, without the traffic, it was a bracing walk.

What are you, a COMPLETE fuxking moron or just superiorly STUPID?????????????????????????????????????????

And to the OP, I wouldnt bother crawling into the middle of a political war zone just for a notebook cable. Don't they have news in Bali?

He was only asking if a shop was open. The Bangkok situation is on the news in UK but it doesn't tell us which streets are shut. Many people report than most of Bangkok is safe, so not sure why you're calling this guy stupid for asking a reasonable question.

Like I said, any helpful posts are appreciated, but even so, the other posts always keep things entertaining here. I was there 2 months ago when things just started to get going and was walking through the protest areas but obviously a lot has changed since then. I think there are three other service centers in bangkok so hopefully one of them is not in the middle of chaos.

Well, i felt lucky when i got here and saw that things seemed to be getting back to normal again but that changed when i finally made it to the asus service center only to find alot of broken glass and a gutted building. All the other buildings within sight and on the way there along rama IV where untouched, why the asus store!
