Re: Bangkok Field Report
Hospital asking for AB blood donors as they dun have enuff for Seh Deang. Guy is critically wounded with rumors that he has died! Earlier today the govt closed 2 more roads. Roads in front of MBK/Chula and Pantip/Platinum @ Pratunam are closed. No access area for all (who would want to go there now?). Water, electricity & handphone lines were supposed to be cut but reports say other wise. Its the wee hours of the morning now and any army action should come anytime soon.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
Indianmagicoil,
It seemed dangerous but life goes on! If you're scared, twiddle your fingers and stay home but I must venture out and risk my life for short time fun! But, currently I'm stuck in the condo smelling epoxy glue and caulking material! I hope my bathroom will be finished by end of the day. Everyone, if you want to venture out to Sukhumvit or Ratchada area, it's safe but BTS and MRT will be closed early! I hae B+ blood, if anyone needs it, just send me a message.

Bangkok traffic: CRES to block roads around Rajprasong The Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation will completely seal off roads around the Rajprasong rally site to block more protesters to join the rally. The CRES announced that the complete blockade would start at 6 pm Thursday. Phyathai Road, Phetchaburi Road, and Wireless Road would be closed to all type of transportation. Motorists on Rama IV Road would be subject to checking by troops. Residents of the sealed-off are will need to show identification documents to enter the area. Protesters will not be allowed to enter the zone but they will not be blocked from leaving. Blockade starts 6 pm, troops authorised to use live ammunitions BANGKOK: -- The Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation will completely seal off roads around the Rajprasong rally site to block more protesters from joining the rally. The CRES announced that the complete blockade would start at 6 pm Thursday. Phyathai Road, Phetchaburi Road, and Wireless Road would be closed to all types of transportation. Limited access will be allowed on Rama IV Road but motorists would be checked by troops. Residents of the sealed-off area will need to show identification documents to enter the zone. Protesters will not be allowed to enter the zone but they will not be blocked from leaving. The blockade was announced by CRES spokesman Col Sansern Kaewkamnerd, who said troops will be authorised to use live ammunitions at the all checkpoints around Rajprasong. Sansern said the northern area to be affected by the sealing-off starts from Rajthevi Intersection to Phetchaburi Road, reaching the Phetchaburi Expressway Intersection. On the southern side, the road will be blocked from Phetchaburi Intersection to Wireless Road to Wireless Road Intersection, reaching Rama IV road and Samyaek Intersection. The Phythai Road will be entirely sealed off from Mah Boon Krong, reachingRajthevi Intersection. Sansern said the roads will be blocked in square shape. "In this square blockade, the Phyathai, Phetchaburi and Wireless Road will be closed to traffic," Sansern said, adding that Rama IV Road will provide limited access to motorists. He said all types of transportation, including buses, BTS trains and subway and passenger boasts will not be allowed to pass through the blocked area. Sansern said residents and people working in the blocked zone would be allowed to travel through the checkpoints if they present their documents like household registrations and workers' ID cards. They will receive stickers for their vehicles to enter the zone. He said the troops and police would close in on the rally zone and would be backed up by armoured vehicles. "We need to use the armoured vehicles to shield troops and police from being fired at because we are confident that armed terrorists are among the protesters," Sansern said. Sansern said troops would first try to prevent attacks by protesters by using rubber bullets but if protesters still attack the officials to try to seize weapons, the officials will need to use live ammunitions to defend themselves. He said officials would first try to fire into the sky to intimidate attacking protesters and would aim at those with weapons. Sansern said troops will be armed with M16 assault rifles and Travo assault rifles. Sansern said the court approved the CRES' request for mobile phone operators to cut off phone signals in the protest zone. He said the court allowed the phone signal blackout to be made for six hours each time for unlimited number of times until the situation improved. cheers |

Re: Bangkok Field Report
DTAC and AIS signals are out. Fortunately, I have a TRUE line, which is still receiving full strength.
Unconfirmed reports that Seh Daeng died or arrested by officers from Thungmahamek police station, which is just 5 mins from where I stay. My office and most business are closed today. Jus received news of clash again just 40 mins ago around Night Bazaar area. So bros avoid Protest area. 4 face buddha, MBK, Siam, Central World and even Pratunam, platimum mall area is to be avoided at all costs. Situation is volatile now. Anyway all BTS services into those area are stopped, meaning you cannot alight there. The roads are blocked and armed soldiers (wth live ammo) are checking every single person going into the area. Even when outside the protest area, avoid Bangkok bank branches (some say all banks), avoid all gatherings of policemen & soldiers. Even if you are walking and see a policeman/soldier ifront of you. Take a detour and give them the wide berth. These are targets for counter-attacks by other unknown elements, using machine guns and grenades. |

Re: Bangkok Field Report
Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) announced that skytrains are stopping at only nine stations, with no service in the centre of the city, on Friday following fresh violence in Bangkok.
On BTS Silom line, there are five stations that remain open. They are Chong Nonsi, Surasak, Saphan Taksin, Krung Thonburi and Wong Wian Yai. On BTS Sukhumvit line, skytrains run from Mor Chit to Ratchathewi and back to Mor Chit, and from On Nut to Asok and back to On Nut. |
