So...the job of acting as current PM is so much as so different from saying one thing and doing another, it also defended.....or seen as defending PAD...

Not much impact if the Reds occupy both airports again, as less comm aircrafts landing liao.
What worst is that if King collapses, due to old age n health. Armforces will take the throne again, if riots persist. Ha, then d country could hv peace liao.

For too long trouble has been brewing.....un-resolve what has happened in Thailand will set back all Thais by 10 years and this is only Thais style boxing 2nd round
Un-resolve world wide income gap is widering, couple with world prolong recession and Thais style politic. Income gap is widering..Rich is super rich and poor is super poor,
Pls Note: A lesson here in singapore that we should know...of this widering income gap, so far our govment knew this and try to avert by work bonus, retraining, trying to fill those gap.
However they are always afew big chief sitting on DIR board earning million of dollar and sleeping on their job, sitting on multi billion Sing dollars of losses for only one reason..that for long term investment. (Very poor mis-judgement and very poor vision and very poor follower of L)
It is sad to see Thailand in such state and sick to see our SWF behave like nothing has happen

"Our demand is for Abhisit to dissolve parliament because he has no legitimacy," said Jatuporn Prompan, a core leader of the pro-Thaksin movement, who are known as the "red shirts" because of their trademark clothes. Rally will start at 0800 GMT in central Sanam Luang park, Jatuporn told AFP. Protest leaders said they would announce the timing of the move to parliament on stage during the demonstration, he said.
The planned rally is set to bring Thai politics full circle after a year of turmoil, with the pro-Thaksin camp using tactics that the billionaire tycoon's foes originally employed to bring down his allies.
Protests outside parliament on October 7 by the royalist, anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), aimed at stopping then-prime minister Somchai Wongsawat delivering his policy speech, left two dead and 500 wounded.
Abhisit said on Friday he had ordered police that there should be no repeat of the bloodshed.
“Police will not use violence against the protesters," national police chief General Patcharawat Wongsuwan told reporters Saturday. Patcharawat said around 3,600 unarmed police would be on duty on Sunday, with just over half around parliament and the rest at the initial rally site or conducting weapons searches.
"If we cannot resist the protesters we will consult with parliament whether they want to postpone or not," Patcharawat said. "If necessary, police will request the assistance of the military."
Pls Note, Actually the fight is very private limited to between Ex-Thais PM. Thaksin and Mr Lim..the media mogul

Thai police brace for new, pro-Thaksin protests..... 30mins ago.
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20081228/tap-as-thailand-political-unrest-7934085.html
BANGKOK, Thailand - More than 3,000 Thai police moved into position Sunday to prevent a replay of mass demonstrations that virtually paralyzed the government for months and climaxed with the eight-day seizure of the capital's airports, local media said.
This time, it was supporters of exiled ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra _ instead of his opponents _ who planned to take to the streets. Followers were planning to marshal enough demonstrators to block the new government from delivering its policy statement at Parliament early next week. The protest was scheduled to begin Sunday.
Police units were being dispatched to cordon off the Parliament building and a nearby field where the pro-Thaksin Democratic Alliance against Dictatorship was to gather, the Web site of The Nation newspaper said.

Round Two seem coming....when he promises to act on those demo, u believe in him ? (new Thai PM,. Mr Abhisit). Will he act to arrest those like Mr Lim - Media Mogol n Ex-bangkok governor and afew of his kakis, the brains behind d PAD or just to forestall d red waves. Thai is beginning to be divided into three section, North/North East, Central and South, while South has taken up arm, it seem Bangkok is sandwich as no one in Thailand is seen as strong leader to unite d Thais, this is the beginning of history having not been a strong Thais kingdom to look at....teeth53 thot.

The British-born Abhisit said however that his government was trying to "clarify to the public that the political transition was in accordance with the system."
Thaksin supporters have promised to rally in central Bangkok on Sun evening & will move the protest in front of the parliament building on Mon, when Abhisit is due to start delivering his policy statement.
Protests by the royalist, anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) rocked Thailand between May - December, growing rapidly in August when they occupied the prime minister's office.
The yellow-clad PAD then caused major economic damage when they occupied Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport and the domestic Don Mueang airport for around a week from late November to early December.
Thaksin supporters say Abhisit's rise to power came through a "silent coup" by the constitutional court on December 2 which toppled the pro-Thaksin People Power Party and ousted premier Somchai Wongsawat, Thaksin's brother-in-law.
teeth53 thot..root causes has not been resolve, no one(Thais) is happy just yet.
Actually the fight is pte limited to between Ex-Thais PM. Thaksin and Mr Lim..the media mogul
Round one is closed liao...Right wing People's Alliance for Demo-cracy (PAD) win, believing they are above the constitution by helping to rules the law by d jungle. It is horse trading now for those who rule this round. Thailand can been seen as making history in itself by been divided North/North East, the Central and South and 4th is those fence sitting and those rich few players who benefited from PAD rules of d jungle,
It is seen that no one is able to solve their politic, a further slipping into another round is a real possiblities and that make those who rule look rather bad and powerless to united the Thais, thus the state is in a very troublesome precursor to more problem w/o solving the root of the problems. Let see history in making.....very for sad for this few round.

Double-whammy hits troubled Thailand's economy. Power vacuum at the top means nothing is being done to help. The RED may also do what other does, the yellow do to them. I am expecting such thing to happen in Bangkok street and at d airport when oni afew thosand ot ten of thousand sleep in airport and road port, like in parliment hse
After the global media attention on the airport blockade by the protesters, the most immediate sector to suffer has been tourism, which accounts for six per cent of Thailand's Gross Domestic Products
"Net exports are falling and local political turmoil is seriously deterring investment and tourism," said Ampon Kittiampol, secretary general of the state-run National Economic and Social Development Board. The growing troubles in Thailand are a cause of regional concern, since the 1997 Asian financial crisis started in the kingdom when its currency collapsed and took the economy with it.
"We now need a lot of investment and Thailand should boost its internal economy consumption, but that's not happening because the government's under attack," Thitinan said.
