What do Thai people believe was the reason for the increased police presence during the general election?

During last weekend's general election in Thailand, alcohol sales were banned throughout the country and extra police were brought into Bangkok. What are peoples' opinions as to why extra police were brought in. I am particularly interested in the opinion of Thai people. But of course, anyone's opinion is welcome.

Update:

@Om-Not in the U.S., where I am from. That's why I was curious about it here in Thailand.

Update 2:

@Gork-Yes, I'm pretty sure that is correct. But what I was really wondering was by who? Thais or foreigners?

    I think the government increased the police presence out of a fear for a general insurrection and rioting.

    >nuclear loose international as a real risk it relatively is the reason he gained the award - I ask you what is incorrect with that? lol, considering's barely going to take place in fantasyland the place maximum liberals look to stay. So if its a real risk how approximately we wait till ultimately it happens and then furnish out the award??? he could have 5 if that certainly happens. Please factor to what concrete wins our united states of america has gained by using fact we are "greater liked". Has this stopped nuclear classes in Iran or N Korea(the different from N Korea, good)? Are you quite so boastful which you think of a few words are going to alter 2000 365 days previous wars, religious zealots and human nature? attempt not being a fool and ppl will take you heavily. the place does this huge naivety come from, dont you ppl watch what is going on interior the international?????? could we supply the award to each huge talker? Your opinion is per what you think of will take place considering you didnt consider the path of Bush. in case you dont think of one hundred eighty ranges has been tried with under stellar consequences then you definately arent paying plenty interest. instruct me consequences, genuine consequences not lip service or promises.
