Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

actually in 2008, my friend asked me want to make some money.... go join the yellow. No way, i wanted to enjoy my days in Thailand.....:D Yes, the yellow have very deep pockets........:)

according to my friend, 2000bahts is also to entice the red supporters in BKK. I suspect my friend and her sisters are red supporters, and they have a relatively decent shop with decent income. Anyway, had to stop talking about politics with her..... and here :p

Don't really understand their mentality......:confused:

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

heard this from a friend which i found interesting :

General Chao Phraya Chakri (the first king of chakri dynasty) decided to put the deposed General Taksin to death.
General Chao Phraya Chakri then seized control of the capital and declared himself king together with establishing the House of Chakri .

thais believe in the next life , so if you look at the current situation,
we have Mr. Thaksin of shin corp vs the yellow shirts ( backed by the old elites) , and many thais are also wondering what will happen when the current king passes on since the crown prince is not exactly the kind of king they want.

Thanks to all Bros with their useful advice.
Will bring my mom to safe places.
She stayed in hotel whole day yesterday. Had spa treatments instead.
I still went for meetings outside BKK.
Outside BKK was OK though.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

yeah i would suggest those coming during the holiday season to redirect to pattya phuket or koh samui better bangkok is no the place to be right now. and i wont see this cooling off anytime soon

Currently there is RED SHIRT VS YELLOW SHIRT VS MULTI COLOUR SHIRT

red and yellow u all should know who as for the multi colour 1 is those sick and tired of the fighting

fighting first started off at ramkhamhaeng area and now spread like wildfire. today and tml should be still okay but yellow shirt leader is giving yingluck 2 days to gtfo the office so its like THE FINAL COUNTDOWN ~~~ TA DAA TA DAAA

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

King's birthday on Thursday so it is going to be major developments (more bloodshed or coup) or just fizzle out before 5th Dec.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

I suggest you switch to Hatyai/Dannok. :D

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

I think if they continue and bring the protest even during the King's birthday. Its a show of disrespect towards him.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Very likely it will happen if things carry on. Currently they just dont have the man power to do anything police is bz protecting all the minister office and the army is not stepping in yet they still trying to choose side. IMO i still think things will not cool off anytime soon.

Unless yingluck side suddenly step down or Suthep suddenly dont wanna pursue things anymore :D or mr chan ocha decide to take either side

Thai Army
 

Thai Army will always be loyal to the King. :cool:

You say who will win leh? :p

Re: Thai Army
