Thaksin blasts protesters with stiff cold winds from China

Up before rosy fingered dawn this morning, air temp a fine cool 20 degrees here in downtown Bangkok and the same at Don Muang. The radiant temp of the sky is -7 C. Yes, that's below freezing! from the seventh floor I scan the city below with my thermal gun, temp is 18 C, knocked down by the cold sky. Photos last night show protesters bedding down at Asoke intersection, beneath the skytrain. A smart move, warmer without the cold overhead sky, that same sky that used so long ago to frost the pumpkin.  Back in my New England childhood.
