Siam at night (29 May 2010)
The Red-Shirt protesters moved into a shopping district and put much pressure not only on the government but also the entrepreneurs in the area. There was totally no business while the daily expenses were never stop moving.
After the army ended the occupation and the Thai authorities lifted a night curfew in the city, at night time Bangkok turned to be a dull city where everyone rush to go back home before the curfew.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said order had now been restored. He also ended curfews in 23 other provinces. Now some countries have relaxed their travel advice towards visiting Thailand. According to BBC news, A UK Foreign Office spokesman advised travellers to exercise caution if travelling to Bangkok or Chiang Mai.
Now the curfew is ended. Bangkok has come back to life. The shopping street is back , even though this time it is a farewell to the burnt Central World Plaza. It is not a surprise that tons of "shopmania" people reside in Bangkok. At night time, the shopping street is filled with people. The street becomes even busier than before. People do their shopping like never before. Eveyone is missing their shopping places and when it's time , they will never miss out the chance to come to Siam Square.
The photo was taken at the night of 29th May 2010. It obviously shows how busy Siam Square area is.
Bangkok is back. Travelers are welcomed to our joyful Bangkok again.
