"Red Camp": Sticks and Tyres

It really is hard to take a sharp picture from a moving vehicle, but I just had to try. I can't really help it that the picture came out slightly blurry, but at least you have an idea of the almost permanent view of the intersection right outside our Soi in the past few weeks since it was besieged by the "Reds":

They have effectively re-routed all traffic that was able to go straight towards Central Chidlom before. The only good thing that came out of this is that the flow of traffic has gotten better and that now, vehicles that come from the left side of the road could actually turn right instead of having to turn left and make a u-turn  before you can go straight ahead.

Beyond those barricades, a make-shift rural village is probably being erected. We were told by Silver Bullet's brother who came by recently, that the the atmosphere beyond those sticks and tyres seems peaceful, friendly and by no means threatening when he and his friends decided to kaypo around.
