Last week I was extolling the virtues of Guardian Eyewitness and their extremely sad photo of Rama IV under siege. Today they have a more uplifting offering:
On Sunday, the people of Bangkok came out on the streets and helped clean up the mess from the protests. Local businesses handed out free food and drinks. Passing motorists dropped off supplies. Good to see that the community spirit of Bangkok has not been lost.
This morning the schools are open again and it is raining, two factors that will ensure that the Monday morning traffic jams are even worse than usual. The Big Mango is back to normal, for now.
