One thing you can say about Thaksin is that he knows how to play on people’s feelings. After been appointed to economic adviser to the Khmer government he made some remarks regarding the people around the King Of Thailand. He later took those remarks back but the damage was already done.
The PAD (yellow shirts and airport occupiers) will now stage a protest until Sunday, and nothing good can lead to that. They want to escalate things with Cambodia since the Khmer government won’t give up Thaksin.
If it was stability the Thai government wanted they can forget about that now, the PAD is running in the next election and the Red Shirts are calling for an election now.
This thing could if people not careful escalate to a bloody mess stretching over the high season and beyond.
