Red Shirt Rally Pattaya - April 23/2011

With an election coming up in July some time, I would think that these type of rallies well become a regular occurrences around the country. " days ago 2 people were shot at this location. Gruesome pictures of the government crack down in Bangkok in April 2010 were ever where.

I heard there were going to be both red and yellow shirt rallies in Bangkok. During Songkron, the Yellow shirt's rally was on TV. It was more entertainment than a rally. Things may get interesting in the next few months.

@backpackreport Back in 2007/2008 when the yellow shirts first started they put on some very interesting shows every night, It was more like a rock concert than a protest. And they have there own TV Station (ASTV) so everything was on TV, And still is. I don't think they do anything outside of BKK. Things should get interesting as everyone gets into election mode.

@dalecalder2003 They have never gone away, Just being a little more behaved. I am sure both the Reds and Yellows well get into the international news as it gets closer to the election.

We aren't hearing anything about the movement over here in our media, I thought it had all died down.
