I already posted these on my Facebook, so some people have seen them already....

I won't write too many captions... struggling on someone else's computer and I want to finish quickly.

Entrance to Big CView of Central World from a distance...

And then close up... it was a bit tricky to get these shots... area was surrounded by soldiers.  I had to sneak through the underground garage and climb up the steps inside the perimeter.  Once there, no-one challenged me, assuming I was another sweaty pressman.

Disturbingly similar to World Trade Center.... AND it used to have the same name.

Lots of stuff left behind...

Some stuff was important... I hope they catch every one of these bastards.

Finally I was a bit hot and sweaty, so I snuck inside a hotel for a bit of aircon and a drink...

And guess who was already there, waiting for the next Louis Viton sale...

Wanker!

great pics....thanks for sharing....

R.I.P Central World....Sad!

nice pics, Dave. Thanks for sharing.

i think Mr takky is trying to be "Tarquinius Superbus"

I really love the pic nr.14.

Did you get into those areas easy enough Dave?

bloody tukky is everywhere. lets hope he is rotting in some stinking jail soon

Wow...some great shots in there. I didn't think you had any talent, nice!!

Just kidding na...it wasn't that nice.

Now I feel bad.

I love your pics.

Hua Hin tomorrow?

@Somamour... don't be quoting obscure Roman emperors on my journal! My average reader will brainpop!

@Si6... it wasn't too difficult to get onto the main road - all of the main roads were blocked, but I took some back streets and got through. The burning building was harder, as it was guarded and fenced off. However, when I returned I got stopped and searched 3 times!

@Japamerican... if only I had a cool talent... like playing the cello or something.

I would love to get down there but if for some reason my stuff is seized then i'm f**ked for my day job.. What do you think?

red mob - sok kra pok

We wish peace on Bangkok right now......

Did you hear that as they moved people out from the Temple where they hid last night and put them onto busses the police were finding lots of luxury goods in their possession.

Si, I think you'r a big girl.

Oops sorry! I just find that what Mr takky is doing a bit similar to that... Maybe i think too much :-?

Maybe you know too much...

Si - I think they won't seize your stuff, but they might refuse entry.

The torn Thai flag..... kinda hurt seeing that.

"Si, I think you'r a big girl."

Piss off, Hi So

Red scum Si, go play with your Buffalo.

The picture that says "peaceful protesters, not terrorists" seems quite ironic given all the destruction they wrought. Perhaps depressing is a more accurate description. Deceptive. Deplorable. Demonic.

Thanks for the pics.

The red shirts wanted the people of Bangkok to join their cause. I think their actions will not result in that outcome.

Just saw that on some Thai news channel......Expensive brand name watches, i-phones, diamonds etc. They asked one guy where he got the watch? his reply.....I found it in the temple!

Comedy gold.

Great pics as usual Dave cheers.

Once again, great photos ... thanks for sharing. What a shame tought... the little public support and sympathy the Reds had Reds had they lost it all after what they did to the city.

Hi Dave

you got talent
