Today’s the day that could change the face of Thai politics forever. Bangkok Pundit has listed the seven possible outcomes; check his blog throughout the day for updates.

There was nothing of note to report on the streets of Bangkok: no heightened security around victory monument, Siam, or Central World Plaza. Nobody at the office is discussing what is going to happen; truthfully, today I have nobody to talk to about this. This should be a hot topic but the feeling I get is that when something like this is going on, people just want it to be over as soon as possible so that everything can get back to normal.

The Bangkok Post is reporting that many schools in the city have canceled classes ahead of today’s ruling. The Australian, British, Canadian, French, Japanese and American embassies have all issued warnings about the possibility of mass demonstrations today and tomorrow. Checkpoints have been set up throughout the city, and security is tight in certain areas, particularly around the Constitution Court.

There has been a lot of censorship leading up to today. Many pro-Thaksin websites have been blocked for fear they would inspire unrest. The Associated Press is reporting that mobile phone signals will be cut during the giving of the verdict, which is scheduled for around 1.30 p.m.

Reporters and leading Thai Rak Thai and Democrat Party members have now arrived at their respective headquarters, according to The Nation. More to come.

I will be going to the Thai Rak Thai head office at lunchtime today. It’s on Rama III Road, in the Navasorn Building. Will report back with pics.
