This week's link to the Nation blog at this Saturday's weekly rally is:

You can also watch it on Thai television if you get the channel.
Apparently the crowd is smaller than the last week's because of the government INSISTENCE that police would block the rally using force if necessary. But the police have let those that came gather. A few parking tickets have been issued but it appears that everything is going along peacefully. Though rallyers may be fewer in numbers than last week's multitudes, it is evident that the "Coalition for Democracy" is growing much stronger and will all be introduced in just a few minutes.
I think they've got a very good chance.
