Since they were quite uncertain about the situation regarding the big protest happening today, my workplace decided to give everyone a day off, with nothing better to do I decided to go out and take some pictures of what was going on.

I took the MRT (underground) to Sukhumvit station, which is one of the seven protest locations and wow was it completely packed. I could barely walk around.

This place reminds me of going to a concert in my younger days, it is certainly just as hot, packed and loud.

Protesting is tiring business, a quick snack from a stall setup amongst the protesters should get my energy level up. Business is great for these vendors who setup stalls to sell all sorts of things from food, drinks and props.

...and after snacks maybe some ice-cream to cool down in the hot Sun.

I love this Thai flag beanie but it is boiling hot, I don't understand how she is wearing that thing. As they say, fashion is uncomfortable.

After just a couple of hours walking around I was completely exhausted, I got to give it to the people who are coming here day after day for hours on end, with some actually sleeping here.
