Central World closed Thursday 19 May, 2011

Central World Shopping Centre closed today at about 2pm as a peaceful but disruptive rally by Red Shirt protesters shut down the nearby Ratchaprasong Intersection. Many bus services will have been cancelled or redirected.

Walking freely from Central World to Siam Paragon, it appeared that neighbouring shopping centres remained unaffected. BTS services were running as usual and there were no signs of an increased military or police presence.
