Cat, it would be great if everyone involved that they are all Thai people and should be working together.

Bangkok would be in deep shit if it weren’t for the hard working rural Thai’s feeding the country.

Talen, Some of the BKK elite have joined the Red Shirts. I've been approached by them these past days and they are proud to admit that they've switched over. .-= Catherine´s last blog ..Red Shirts 2010: The Faces of Day Three =-.

Martyn, that really is a great front page they made up.

It may not be the million mark they had hoped for but it is still a good showing and one that will be around for a while it seems.

It would be great if all remains peaceful because I think at this point they are making an impact in the sense that people are starting to realize that Thailand consists of much more than the Bangkok elite.

What a great front page The Nation newspaper put out, the white dove flying high.

I think the red shirts are in for a long stay if they are going to succeed in dissolving the present House. Red shirt numbers are good but not at the million mark they hoped for. Maybe as the rally drags on those numbers will swell. Let’s just hope it’s all peaceful, good humoured and helps the dollar and sterling to strengthen a bit.

Mike, I think you are right…The ultimatum that the red shirt leaders issued last night to dissolve the current government though will be the deciding question mark in this affair…they may be at this for some time.

Talen, if anything is going to actually happen I reckon today is the day. Protesters are supposed to be heading for 11th Infantry(were PM is located)this morning. Overall looking a fairly meek affair so far, quite civilised and some very mature, from a Democratic point of view, responses from the PM. .-= Mike´s last blog ..Wat Khlong Wan(??????????)Prachuap Khiri Khan =-.

Apparently they are marching through my area tomorrow. I've stayed up with them for three days as it is. I was going to pass on tomorrow but if they are here, I will be too. .-= Catherine´s last blog ..Red Shirts 2010: The Faces of Day Three =-.
