Great news. Looks like Thailand’s political crisis (this round) is coming to an end. Strange that I live in Thailand but have not been to downtown Bangkok since last October. Right now the place where I asked Yui to marry me has been shut down for two months as it is in an Red Shirt occupied zone.
UPDATE: New Demands
The red-shirts will disperse only after Mr Suthep reports to the Crime Suppression Division.

Seems like a small demand – but I get the feeling it ain’t going to happen – and sadly the crisis ain’t over.
