A Right Royal Fiasco

The Crown Princess comes to officially open Sara's school. Given the veneration of the Royal Family here, this is a momentous event indeed, and there's been weeks of making displays, practising courtseys and drilling the children. Sukhumwit Road is closed for a few hours, paralysing central Bangkok, and security is tight, with a hundred armed police on the premises. Primary school children can be dangerous, it appears.
