101 East - Bangkok Blues - 04 Sep 08 - Part 1

With anti-government protests continuing in Thailand, 101 East looks at the increasing pressure facing Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej.

Thailand's politics are in turmoil. Samak Sundaravej, the Prime Minister, has declared a state of emergency after vicious clashes between rival gangs of pro and anti-government protestors on the streets on Bangkok.

Meanwhile, thousands of protesters remain camped out at Government House, at the office of the Prime Minister. They want him to resign and are calling for the dismantling of the country's democratic system.

101 East examines if the ruling coalition can weather the storm or will yet another Thai government come crashing down?

The PAD party is an insult to all thais rural citizens,the whole country will fall apart and starve when you disregard the farmers and the poor working class.

Yes they are and now they just took over an international airport. PAD are sore losers, 85% voted for TRT, so PAD are trying to take over the government by force, by false allegation. TRT took Thailand out of the Asian Crisis, made the underground lottery in to a legal system do it can benifet the country, have emission testing, poor people now have business, government rice buying program.. etc... no other other parties did so much for THailand like Thaksin and TRT.
