Back in Bangkok: First Day, First Rally!

Jun 9, '08 8:32 PM
for everyone

June 6, 2008
Bangkok, Thailand

Not much action and sights in this album, since I had to do some work-related stuff first. The most interesting part about this day was that there was a political demonstration going on near the United Nations building, so the area had to be barricaded (but believe me, these things appear to be infinitely more peaceful than the rallies in Manila). The number of street food vendors also appears to be directly proportional to the number of demonstrators.

(We stayed at the Baiyoke Sky Hotel and got upgraded to a Junior Suite. Oh coolness.)

Dude, the area was barricaded like Malacañang because of the anti-Thaksin rally. Well, I got what I had to get in, that's for sure. The UN guards were friendly even if they look intimidating.
