Protests in Bangkok

The political opposition called for a two-day rally this weekend, on the heels of weeks of other protests. We went down to the area around Government House to take a look around. Lots of people camping out overnight, everybody selling and wearing T-shirts, hats, buttons, etc., anti-Thaksin. Looked like an interesting crowd. On the way over our taxi driver told us how much he disliked the protestors and how they're ruining the country, a common view outside of Bangkok. We walked through for about an hour, but couldn't take the heat. Not sure how all these guys can take it all day for two days.
