Chaos created by the ‘Red Shirts’ simply translated into hooligans who are wantonly damaging Thailand both financially and morally :-

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva declared a state of emergency in Pattaya and Chon Buri, partly to facilitate the departure of ASEAN VIP guests. He told a press conference ASEAN leaders and their dialogue partners understand the need to postpone the summit and support government action regarding Saturday's incidents.
"Thai State Of Emergency" = send 2000 troops stand watch the protestors carry on what they are doing??


Arisman Pongruangron told red-shirted protesters to disperse from the Royal Cliff Beach Resort Hotel, TNN reported at 1:58 pm.

Arisman said the red-shirted had scored a victory to prevent the ASEAN summit so they no longer needed to occupy the hotel.


it seems as if the lunatics are now running the asylum.

a few minutes before the statement a red shirt leader spoke to the press from the lobby of the royal cliff hotel that they had stormed , saying that the government had one hour to arrest the men (blue shirts)who shot and wounded a taxi driver or they would storm the meeting itself.

i find it unbelievable that

1. the govt. chose to hold this meeting in a location like pattaya , so easy for the protesters to get there and assemble.

2. that the police and army could not secure the area where the meeting was to be held and prevent this disruption.

3. that the hotel security was breached so easily.

it is as if they wanted to let the red shirts win the day.

its very embarrassing for the country.

OMG - how utterly embarrassing.

Losing face in front of your neighbours etc.
Now then..........there is going to be SIGNIFICANT fall out from this, and rather than Abisit shooting himself in the foot, i think this could be Taksin shooting himself in the foot.
The Government wont take this lying down.
I foresee an immediate revocation of Taksin's Thai passport which will keep him in one country. Then they will actually actively seek to extradite him, as opposed to just talking about it.

And then the real bloodbath begins. But at least it will the final chapter instead of just carrying on forever.

This is not a good day which ever way you look at it.
What a tin-pot country!
