Since the curfew started at 8 p.m. it has become hard to tell what is really going on. Eyewitness reports can only be made by looking out the window and exchanging information over the internet.

At the same time Twitter – so far the number 1 source of live information on the stirring events in Bangkok is experiencing capacity problems and right now it seems to be impossible for some to post news on twitter. In addition the Thai Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) seems to block web services like Twitter and Facebook.

These are the latest facts:

Central world is still ablaze. The governor of Bangkok has send 900 firefighters and 450 policemen on the way to extinguish the raging flames. The mall´s structure as a whole has not collapsed although parts of the walls are falling down now.



In Wat Prathumwanraam temple 9 people have succumbed to their injuries since ambulances could not make their way through the hail of bullets. Five of the seven injured have been taken to hospital.

Tesco On Nut has been looted by Red Shirts shortly before the curfew. Rumors of Red Shirts having taken Tesco staff hostage have proven false.

Streets are deserted it is a spooky quiet atmosphere on the deserted streets. Gunfire has died down in most areas as well.
