Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva canceled on March 8th his planned visit to Australia from March 13th to the 17th to remain on the ground during the planed March 14th opposition protests in Bangkok, reports indicated. Bangkok is likely to experience traffic circulation problems during the protests as an estimated 10,000 vehicles of all kinds, including even agricultural farming trucks, will bring some 100,000 protesters to the capital. The government did not announce if it had plans to close financial and government institutions during the protest, with banks announcing they would encourage their respective bank branches to decide whether to close or remain open. ATM service may be suspended or severely limited in parts of Bangkok.
