More and more footage is found on the internet, showing that foreigners and their worst behavior, mixing in with an exclusively Thai issue.

On Tuesday I had already posted this picture, showing a foreigner dismantling an ATM machine.

Just a couple of minutes ago I had posted this video showing a militant Farang (foreigner) threatening to burn down Central World. A video taken 3 days before the arson actually happened.

Now I found another video showing a young guy who joins vandalizing Thai youngsters and destroys a illuminated billboard himself:



The same guy:

A foreigner among the Red Shirts. In fact dressed in a black shirt. Armed with a bamboo pole threatening to burn and loot Central world – three days before it actually happened.



Not only that a foreigner is mixing in with Thai politics, but where does he know from what will happen to Central World later. So far it is quite certain, that those arsons to landmark buildings across Bangkok have been planned in advanced and were quite well organized and carried out by teams of Red Shirts.

Today – the day after Bangkok burned and saw the worst rioting in decades- Bangkok is a much calmer but also a broken city. After the curfew things are much quieter now. There is smoke still and some of the militants are still in the high rises on Ratchaprasong Road. Just right now, the armey has sealed the area off and tries to flush out the last of those snipers.

14 People have died yesterday in Bangkok. 2 deaths are reported from Ubon Ratchathani.

Meanwhile the government has extended the curfew on 23 other provinces. It is prolonged until next Saturday always from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
