Bruce how are things going over there? I looks bad on TV.
...lew...

The "mobs", to use the Thai vernacular, are in three places,
government House - located near the center of town; Don Maung airport
- the old airport, on the northern fringe of Bangkok and the new
airport - southeast of the city.

Given that the "mobs" are not unruly and not antagonistic they don't
cause any problems for the average Bangkokian. other then adding to
Bangkok's normal traffic congestion. The average Thai never sees them
except on the T.V.

Even the tourists at the airport, who, not speaking Thai, aren't
really aware of what is going on, have not reported any cases where
they have been in danger.
Cheers,
