Rather than heading to 10 separate sites as promised, the Red Shirts are converging on the Thaicom building in the northern suburbs of Bangkok (check the Google Map, now embedded on the sidebar and keep going north, north, north . . .) Fifteen-thousand protestors have surrounded the compound and are vowing to stay until People's TV is back on the air.
The good news: they're making their stand far away from downtown.
The bad news: it's looking a bit tense . . . there are 6000 soldiers inside to protect the station and the government has given "dire warnings" about the consequences of any attempt to enter. Protestors, however, say they will stay until People TV is back on the air.

Here they come up Vibhavadi Rangsit (toll road)
And here they are going around the Victory Monument traffic circle . . .
