EVERYTHING'S QUIET IN CENTRAL BANGKOK

Saturday afternoon's in central Bangkok are never like this.
I captured the almost deserted roads outside Central Chitlom at 2pm this afternoon. The shops here, and also at Siam Paragon, were equally quiet. I think many shoppers opted to stay closer to home, rather than venture into the centre of the city.
But I have to say that in my four-hour trip out today I didn't see a single red-shirt or a single member of the military. No checkpoints either. I even overheard a couple of tourists who seemed to be disappointed there weren't any signs of demonstrations.
