Shutdown of the Shutdown
 
Good news!

They will still be camped out at Lumpini. But, the streets will be reopened.

good news for all it seems

Unfortunately, it isn't going to "fix" anything.

I really can't see how this ongoing situation can be resolved.

good news for who/whom?

Good news for people trying to get around, downtown. Good news for tourists that aren't familiar with Bangkok.

Sounds like Super Monk is planning to stick around Chang Wattana. I wonder how many others will ignore Fearless Leader's decision.

They say they will still protest Shinawatra and government establishments. This would cover the monk's persistence.

But, since "government offices" are spread all over the city, can we really breath a sigh of relief?

Maybe we are simply looking at "Chapter Two - The Regrouping"!

Like I said, even if they all packed up and went home, this mess is far from over ….
