The red shirts are doing a rally around Bangkok today.
Map taken from here.
Part of the route passes by near where I live. Rallies in Thailand are normally peaceful (even attended by kids). So, I thought this would be an interesting event to watch and photograph.
There are still many supporters of the red shirts. People rushing to the streets, dressed in red or carrying a red handkerchief to wave to the passing rally.
People of all ages were at the rally. Its sort of like a family outing. Even foreigners and dogs joined.
The train station had to close temporarily.
Police were around, of course.
Some people even take advantage of this to make some money.
More photos of the rally:
But, though it is a lot of people, just go back one alley and things feel normal again.
