Bangkok Thailand Protest City March 2010

http://www.thai-faq.com/7zm - The red shirted Thai protesters took to the streets of Bangkok in their vehicles today to press for their demands that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva dissolve the parliament and hold new elections. The rally brought out thousands of cars, trucks, tuk-tuks, motorcycles and even people on foot.

The goal of the protesters were to win support from the citizens of Bangkok and to some degree I think they were successful. Rather than an angry mob of people stuck in the traffic jam most of the Bangkokians I saw were excited to see the protesters drive by. Many were handing out water and food and everyone was cheering the protesters on.

The protests are still continuing. The red shirts and the gov't did meet for negotiations but they were unable to come to an agreement. This weekend the red shirts are promising another huge rally.

No idea if the protests will be still happening in late April but so far they seem uninterested in the airport. Where ever Abhisit goes the red shirts go. I think if they did take over the airport the gov't and the people of BKK would be seriously pissed and would probably take action.

i was in bangkok during april 2010, and regardless of whether you supported the protest or not, you had to admire their dedication. i stayed on soi rambuttri - a street down from khao san and we could hear their louspeakers day and night!

the violence that ensued was frightening though. we eventually managed to get out of the city (white tourists, etc) and went north to chiang mai, but not before being abandoned by several minibuses on roundabouts, and witnessing police in riotgear behaving..hm
