Down the back of the government centre. Even if they do agree to go it will take all day to clear the sandbags, nets, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draftvader Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Chaeng Wattana Update Wednesday 16:00 to Laksi Just horrendous. Had the misfortune of having to make this journey by taxi as my wife had a hospital apt. The traffic is now being directed behind immigration. This seems to have made it worse during rush-hour. Took about 1 hour to get from Muang Thong Thani to Laksi. 19:00 to Muang Thong Thani Luckily our taxi driver used his brain and went the long way around and it only took 20 minutes. The traffic jam on the main route was from outside CAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Is it possible to exit the tollway at Yammorat and travel across the Rama 8 bridge? If not - suggested detours?

tx22cb Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Out of curiosity, went to the sole site, Lumpini, at noon to see the lunchtime crowd. Pretty sparse - only about 30 real office workers (going by their attire). The rest were permanent residents of the Lumpini tent city (southerners, guards). Also spied the Sehgal Indian guy being interviewed by the media at the back of the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellyp Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Any news on protests for today? I need to get from Pinklao to Ramkamheng 1 campus. I have a car but I don't really want to use it unless I have to. Can any body help? As far as i can see the protest goes from Lumpini park to the royal plaza, but I don't now where the red shirts rally is going and that concerns me.

GrantSmith Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Anyone know the traffic situation around Rama 4/ Silom junction area, after the return of the yellow sheeple to Lumphini? Thanks.

MikeOboe57 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Posted this elsewhere already re. Red Shirt at Aksa Road: I just returned from a bicycle tour around Thawee Watthana From Putthamonton Sai 3 the Aksa Road looks empty to the first "hump" apart from a large tent on the left lane up there. On Thawee Watthana Road northbound vehicles parking right and left the last 200 meters to the Aksa Road overpass. Nothing beyond. A few redshirts getting out of their cars there, otherwise not much going on. The real action seems to be closer to Sai 4. Sai 4 is rot dit mahk mahk. Large number of buses parking on the west side between Putthamonton Park and the ramp across Barommaratchachonnanee Rd. in rows of two and three - maybe 100, difficult to guess because riding a bike through that traffic is challenging enough. Lot of cars parking on both sides (including street vendors) up to Aksa Road, probably also beyond, but I turned around there. [...] Traffic on Putthamonton Sai 3 normal, on Sai 4 only to Salaya, southbound it is stop and go. Traffic on Barommaratchachonnanee Rd. as usual, occasional backlog from exit to Sai 4 direction Putthamonton. The front section of Putthamonton Park is occupied by the redshirts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thait Spot Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Small (100 or so) protest group at the Crime Suppression Division on Phaholyothin Road. Traffic on the Central Lat Prao side moving OK - the other side is down to 1 lane as 7 buses and assorted vehicles have parked.

arkom Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 If you are coming from Khae Rai, at Ngam Wong Wan overpass to the expressway there were a few protesters. Seemed like there were on the "lookout" for something as they all had binoculars looking towards Thaicom. If you are using the overpass, be careful as I almost hit them cause they seemed to be hiding behind the railings and didn't see them until the last minute.

draftvader Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Chaeng Wattana - 22/04 - Avoid I have just come back from Laksi and there were 100s of riot police moving in on the site. At the same time I noticed buses full of PDRC at the site and the usual convoys of pickup trucks continually arriving. I also noticed a couple of empty army trucks there too. Might well end up like last time but even so it will make sense to avoid the area today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
