Word is this morning, there are going to be opening all the intersections this weekend, and move the protest center to Lumpini park. Per Bangkok Post.
Traffic has been quite bad last few days. A couple taxi drivers told me business is down 50%, because it takes so long to get anywhere. Higher fare hotel customers are using BTS. I took taxi from Courtyard Wednesday to my friends. A 10 minute ride, took just over an hour.
