Judgment Day: Red March in Bangkok

School is cancelled tomorrow, 12 March 2010, in most (if not all) local and international schools in Bangkok and in neighbouring provinces as the Red Shirts hold their anti-government rally. The government has invoked the Internal Security Act (some sort of a martial law) in Bangkok and in other areas and promised to pin down hard those law offenders in tomorrow's and in the next days' demonstrations.

I hope the expected political unrest will not materialize as gov't instability has been hurting this beautiful country for quite a long time now. I hope that the government and the red shirts will be able to come up with an amicable settlement, one that lasts, for overthrowing the current government is sure bound to hurt Thailand and its people real bad.
