An excellent article by the BBC - please read and check out their related links (in the right hand column) for more information about the background and history of Thai politics.
Things are quiet in Bangkok today. Rumors keep flying around though and most people are on edge. The US, British and Australian governments issued travel warnings on Friday to encourage their citizens not to come to Thailand on non-essential travel. The clinic near Silom is tentatively closed until Tuesday (Sunday and Monday are usually holidays anyway). The BTS Skytrain closed early on Friday evening at 6pm and has yet to reopen at the Sala Daeng, Ratchadamri or National Stadium stations (all near Thursday night's violence in Silom).
Hopefully, there will be some good news soon!
