Moderate Red leaders have surrendered to the authorities around 2pm this afternoon. But the fight is far from over. Now rampaging mobs of hardcore Reds & anarchists are running wild.

1) Bomb reported at Siam Square.
2) Din Daeng/Vic Monumnet still burning.
3) Channel 3 is off the air coz HQ has been invaded.
4) 7-11's in trouble spots being looted.
5) Thai TV showing big building next to Channel 3 on fire.
6) Bus & taxi companies have stopped or limited operations.
7) Unconfirmed reports that Central World also attacked.

Media are barred from entry to areas where there are still fighting so hard to assess what is happening now. Just came back from a late lunch. Streets are quite with few buses running and cars on the roads. Ordinary Thais have been advised to go back early. Banks, shops & supermarkets are closed or closing as I'm typing this.

CRES announced a new curfew in Bangkok from 2000HRS to 0600HRS - dunno if it is thru out the capital or selected areas.

Bros in Bangkok r advised to stay indoors until the situation is more clear or the army takes full control of the anarchy. The defeated Reds are venting their anger now so there is some anxiety on the streets of Bangkok now as people try to catch whatever transport left to go home.
