Red shirts surround General Prem's residence in Bangkok(The Nation) – Thailand -- Tens of thousands of red shirt protesters have succeeded in marching past police barricades to surround the residence of Privy Councillor General Prem Tinsulanonda, who they claim was behind the 2006 coup.
hey guys i saw this on vientian times, we all know wuts going to happen once the king of thailand is gone...
i hope lao can accommadate all the influx of people thats gonna move into lao after the chaos hits thailand.
I still remember when the war of Ban Romkao was on its top heat and the thai side seem to make a losing battle. Mr. Prem ( I don't remember his position at that time) stated angrily at the thai TV relating the fight again lao army showing the trucks carrying wounded thai soldiers " LET'S CROSS THE MEKONG RIVER AND BURN DOWN VIENTIANE CITY AS WE DID JUST ONE CENTURY AGO " what a mad bloodthirsty man he is ! and he aferward said that he acknowledge that his grandmother was a laowoman... really, I don't want to hear the name of this old and dangerous man...
If Prem said this : "Let's cross the Mekong and burn down Vientiane as we did just century ago" . Then we need to go down there helping the Red Shirt UDD brings down this Jerk Prem Tulsihookee.

what's difference between the yellow shirt group and red?
Yellow shirts = a bunch of elites upper middle class wants a parliament with 70% of the members chosen by the king, 30% by the people. They want to keep the statusquo before Thaksin was in power. That is, poor rural class should remain slaves of the economy while the minority in Bangkok enjoy their wealth.
Red Shirts = everyone else (majority of Thai people) who liked Thaksin's reforms. That is, create opportunities for rural farmers to get better by giving them access to low interest rate loans - a practice applied in many places around the world - so they can start/expand their businesses. Of course there are many other reforms but let's just leave it as that.
Ivy coucil didn't like this Thaksin because it means they won't be in control of the economy with new wealth built in rural area. In the end, Thailand isn't a democracy because majority's voice isn't respected and the King can just throw out a government if it endangers the elites' influence/power.

BANGKOK - BRITISH authorities have revoked the visas of ousted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife Pojaman, an airline official told AFP on Saturday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the British embassy had informed all airlines in an email on Friday not to allow the couple to board flights to Britain.
'The British embassy sent an email message to all airlines operating from Bangkok on Friday that the British authorities had revoked the visa for Thaksin and Pojaman,' he said.
'It's (the email is) general practice for all airlines, so no airline can take them on board to England from any port,' he added.
red shirts is communist mob support by thaksin shinawatra. They want to make Thailand become communist.
as opposed to yellow shirts who wants a "democracy" where the king appoints 70% of the parliament?
yellow shirts' argument was "majority of Thai ppl did not know how what they vote for hence their votes should not dictate who's in power"
I personally hope they can overthrow the corrupt system - King and his Ivy league should have "NO" say in politics. They can't just have a coup whenever they feel like it.
