Thailand Prepares for the Worst

My movements have become slightly restricted for the next few days as the civil unrest here in Thailand comes to a boiling point. The whole thing could become a "much ado about nothing", but better safe than sorry. The government opposition party (the "Red Shirts") have a big demonstration planned for the weekend, and the authorities have started implementing "special security precautions". Current predictions state that the demonstration could be over 1 million people strong. I could write a book on the who, where, and why of the situation, but the simple fact of the matter is that there is a certain amount of tension in the air. Bomb warnings have been issued for banks throughout the country, and airport delays/closures have been predicted. The government has deployed an additional 20,000 police officers and 30,000 military troops in the capitol. The next 36 hours will tell whether things will stay peaceful or not.
