No problems at all. Saw the red's gathered in central Bangkok near the Four Seasons hotel and around the city in general celebrating Songkran.They seem to have quite a lot of popular support at the moment including many taxi drivers etc.
We will be back in Bangkok tomorrow evening so hoping things stay trouble free till we leave on the 24th. Obviously I hope things stay trouble free full stop and a compromise is reached,but to be honest with the way things are going it's not looking too good at the moment.
