After walking up Ratchdamri Road, I finally reached Ratchaprasong Intersection. This is an area that I have visited a lot the last month or so when the Reds were occupying these roads.
I have taken a picture quite a few times recently but it is usually full of Reds! Now it is calm and peaceful.
This is a view looking towards the intersection. Straight ahead was the Red’s main stage less than one week ago. There were only protesters here before but now volunteers who have come to clean up their city.
There were also foreigners helping to clean the city. This man is being interviewed in what was the back stage area for the Red leaders.
This is a picture of Rama I Road between BTS Chidlom and BTS Phloenchit. Twice last week we had to walk down here in the pitch darkness scared of sniper fire that thankfully never came. Look how calm it is now.
This is the final picture that I took with my iPhone of my walkabout this afternoon. It was taken from the platform of BTS Phloenchit station. As you can see, a beautiful blue sky with not one fire burning!

Thanks for being the eyes and ears for all of us. Nice photos. Are all of these photos from your iPhone? They are good. The last photo has a great looking blue sky. Did you use a polo or do a little Photoshop work on the sky? Thanks again for sharing this.

Thanks. All pictures were taken using my iPhone and uploaded live from each location as I walked around Bangkok. The last photo was taken using HDR Pro app on my iPhone and again uploaded straight away.
Everything is done on the iPhone including writing and posting the blog.
