It's not the elections that will disrupt the peace and tranquility but the election results and the months following the elections. So until the elections are held and the results become clear nobody has a clue if there will be any demonstations or disruptions.

 

And why would you post a link to an article that can only be read by registered members?

I was also there when that happened, I remember taking a baht bus to Walking Street thinking "seems a bit quiet tonight". Got to Walking Street and a cop told me it was closed. Definately not fun

 

Article said election will be held on the 3rd July
