Ah hamm! dear friends do not bet on people life. It is different from
TV screens and news reports. The red shirts are a tiny minority in the
BKK, the army have them checkmated with their every move being firmly handled. The red shirts are counting on populous general uprising in
BKK but it is not and will not happen. The majority is trying to make
a living and many are suffering from the red shirts blockades of the
city. Maybe a declaration of succession would have a better end
results, in affect it has happened with in Esarn, the red shirts have detained army troops. A large number of the demonstrators are old
people, women and young people and were not involved in street fights.
It is an illusion to think the red shirts will run the country any
better, corruption and financial advantages come with the territories
in Thai politics.
If you have a chance to ask the normal people what they are
demonstrating for? most would say 'I don't like Abhisit', those who
can give you the reasons would be with the government views. There are financial law suits looming due their 'illegal' blockades and damages
caused. At the moment both sides are gauging people sentiments and
support, it is a stalemate, the demonstrators are locked out of Silom,
only a political solution can solve the current situation. The red
shirts do not have Bkk people support and their next move into Silom
will bring tough actions from the army, gambling on their supporters
well being for their own political gain.

Folks,
Grab your binoculars and couple case of Beers. There is an avoidable firework shows in Bangkok very near futures. Look like now Thai people are taking off their masks - EESANS are against SIAMESE (multicolor

Korat, Thailand (CNN) -- Water buffalo laze in the fields as 51-year- old Prayuan Vejchakarn sits hunched over, her hands shaping slabs of stone.
It's mesmerizing to watch her hands expertly chip away, not missing a beat. She works from sunrise to sunset, ignoring the pain in her back, focusing all her energy on making sure each blow is accurate.
The majority of those out here cut stone when it is not farming season -- part of a never ending battle to survive.
This is Red Shirt heartland, some seven hours away from the bustle and high rises of Bangkok, home to the majority of the nations rural poor. Homes are simple structures, roads in villages tend not to be paved, and children dart around naked, blissfully unaware of the political turmoil that threatens their nation.
Despite the impact on her income, Prayuan says that she had to make
the trip to Bangkok, to partake in the Red Shirt d
It is money that she and the other families here can ill afford to loose. They tell us that they have seen their income from stone
cutting dwindle down to a fifth of what it use to be. They point to
the fields and the livestock pens and speak about the days when they used to be filled with cattle.
Just about everyone we met had joined the Red Shirt demonstrations in Bangkok, some riding for hours on a flatbed pulled by a tractor just
to get there.
They long for the days of Thaksin Shinawat, Thailand's former prime minister, who was ousted in a bloodless coup in 2006.
Out here Thaksin is seen as a hero, the man who gave them a voice, fought for their rights, and eased their economic burdens.
We ask a group of villagers gathered under the shade of coconut trees exactly what it is they want to see change, and they churn out a
chorus of requests.
Better education, health care, economy, opportunity, respect are among the few. People say they feel that current Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's government has drained them of the meager resources they have.
They view Abhisit's government as illegitimate, and are calling for
him to step down and for new elections.
San Saengduan, who just returned from Bangkok to spend the Thai new year with her family says that Thaksin's government helped clear her debt by suspending her loans. Now she says she owes more than before, and is making 50 percent less from her farm.
Right or wrongly, she and all the others blame the government for
their financial demise.
She says that after her family heard about the clashes between police and demonstrators that claimed the lives of nearly two-dozen people, her mother called, begging her to come home. She says she refused.
"I have to help my people win," she states simply.
San and her husband have been taking turns, one of them works the
farm, the other joins the demonstrations.
She says she is worried about the financial loss, but that it's a risk she is willing to take to fight for long-term change.

Feel free to cheer any side you like. But don't expect the red shirts, in case they return to power again, to treat the Hmongs or any
of us better than the currrent Administration. Bear in mind that Thailand interest comes first!
And the red shirts fight for one man, Thaksin, who is All behind this
turmoil!
I don't use the HNK case and race issues as a measurement to take side
for/against either party.

Nty,
How many millions dollars did Ahisit and Pongchida the Thai thugs sold
the Lao-Hmong refugees to the LPDR? Sathou.. Sathou.. Let's our Lord
Budhha punishes them before the new year. Let's pray that they celebrate their new year in the dark. Saiyo to the red-shirt.
The Chinese media just try to wash their hands. Infact, China are the
key persons who behind this red shirt faction. Taksin is pro-China.
Is that true?- Hide quoted text -

NTY,
We often talked and believed about " Bab. Vin, and Kam". Some might not believe it, but let me just bla bla bla about the case of Thailand's broken promises.
As we all still alive and recall very clearly. Thailand faced three wars in the past:
1. The war against communism
2. The war against LPDR
3. The war of 3 Mou Ban (Thailand vs LPDR #2).
Thailand lost all these three wars. Thousand lives and million dollars had been lost during those wars. But who helped Thailand to win those war? The Hmongs.
The Thai King and Royal Thai Army had asked the Hmongs to help them. The Thai King agreed to issue security passports to the Hmong leaders and will allow the Hmongs to stay in Thailand like the other Thai brothers and sisters. My uncle and my brother were the ones who brought the very first Thai Communist leader to meet with Gen. Snan Region III commander in Nan Province. After That, the Hmongs also helped the Royal Thai Army to win the 2 wars against LPDR.
The promises the Thai King and Royal Thai Army promised to the Hmongs were not only with white papers but also with the Lord of Budhha. People's promises are sometimes " Fake". But promises to the Lord of Budhha is something sacred. According to the Thai King and Royal Thai
Army's promises to the Hmongs and the Lord Budhha it stated:
1. The Hmong will help Thailand faithfully as Thai soldeirs to protect
Thailand's security and soverignity.
2. Thailand will respect the Hmongs as brothers and sisters and will allow the Hmongs to stay in Thailand as a Thai citizens.
3. Thailand will use Wat Tham Krabok as a santuary to shelter the Hmongs in case they got killed, injured or in need of medical treatment.
4. Thailand will establish a 12 ministry committee to solve the Hmong problems in Thailand.
5. If Thailand break her promises, Thailand will face chaos of unrest,
civil war and only bloods and lives can pay for her broken promises.
These promises had been burned to the Lord of Budhha in a Buddhist Temple in Nan Province along with Hmong participants and many high ranking leaders from the Royal Thai Army with an Oath of " Sad Ja" from the Thai King.
In the past couple years, many Hmong leaders had been arrested. And in
December last year, all Hmong refugees had been sent back to Laos against their wills. So, if "Sad Ja" still " Sak Sid" and "Lord Budhha
still exists" then, surely, Thailand will have a big price to pay. Kam
will sanong Kam for sure.
I still keep all of the documents, pictures and Oath I mentioned above
on my files. In case Thailand needs to Samra their Bab, Vin and Kam, come my way.- Hide quoted text -

cwjmem, I don' t think Abhisit would step down or dissolve the
parliament. No good reasons for him to do so! Like I said before, dissolving the parliament would solve no problem, bring more problems instead.
Have you watched various video clips taken by foreign journalists,
free lance photographers, and the many folks who happened to be around
the clashed areas. The gunmen who were mingling among the red shirts
were the cuprits who murdered their own men in order to put blame on
Abhisit government and soldiers. You could figure out why
they' d do such that.
If the soldiers really like to kill, the red shirts wouldn't stand a
chance!
Look at the various video clips previously posted without taking side
or unbiased would tell
you who the culprit are!
This time the Thai military is ready after the last bungled events. I
don't support any bloodshed but when the time comes, the Thai military
would do their job protecting their own live and their legitimate
government. The things you mentioned would hardly happen. The red
shirts do not have the support of majority of Thai people. At the end
I don't think there would be any war of liberation, revolution or
anything like that. The time of communism vs capitalism is the thing
of the past!
Not all Esan people joins the red shirts, in contrary, more and more
got fed up with them!
This is not a fight Esan vs Thai, it is for something else...Have you
noticed any red shirts core leaders are from Esan?

The only option Thai has left to prevent further blood shed is Abhisit
must resign this week. Even Thai soldiers kill hundreds or even
thousands of RED SHIRTED protesters it would not stop these poor folks
to protest. I bet that if Thai soldiers use live Ammo to kill those protesters, Bangkok will be burned down to the ground. Notice all
folks in Isaan provinces + some other poor SIAMESE join the red shirt folks, and the Muslim provinces are still fight the war with Thai government.
Isaan consists of 34% of Thai population, they are not going to back
down until their agenda is met. Heavy arms were also given to the
Isaan already before their rally. Civil war is just about to break
out at any moment unless Abhisit and his gang step down.
Notice that No European, Asean, nor Americans act of negotiators for
these Thai folks because they know that power grab is not favored by
them. Other nations just sit and watch.

all,
I think, it's a real “class war”, the fights is well beyond Bangkok's streets. The Eesan people, who are the majority of Thai people in Thailand are social-economically minority and suppressed and looked
down by the former Siamese for too long. It’s about time for them to fight and claim their right and freedom to be equal to anybody else in Thailand.
If you look closely, you’ll see it’s not the fight between Taksin and Abhisit or the Red against the Yellow. many Eesan provinces are controlled by the red shirt now. they stop the moving of the army and police now. This week might be the big fight in bangkok. The army is
well prepared and ready to kill. The Red shirt will use anything to
fight back including the deathly acid.
we just wait and see how the thai's bitter history will evolve and how the thai gonna pay back their "Kam" they committed....

I agree with you XiangMieng. The protest has nothing to do with us, Laotians or territory dispute or democracy. It is about Thaksin and money and power.
The red shirts won't get anything out of this turmoil. Instead, they 'll get more hatred from more people for what they did on April 10. Some red shirt people just come to die in vain for few hundred bahts without knowing the real purposes and goals of the real mastermind.
