Latest Protesters armed with clubs pushed and forced police off the grounds of Government House early on Friday morning as a senior PAD member threatened to make demonstrations “more aggressive”.
The Civil Court refused on Thursday to lift its order for protesters to leave Government House immediately – but said it could appeal the order later.
Railway workers on Thursday began a sick-out to support the anti-government actions in Bangkok, and announced that all train service to the North and Northeast will halt at midnight on Friday, causing disruption to commuters and tourists.
I confess that, of the three headlines and summaries, the one that confuses me most is that Railway workers are supporting the PAD by taking a day off.
Once again, inconveniencing commuters and travelers seems to work the other way, getting people pissed off at the disruptive tactics of the PAD rather than the government trying to provide the services, but then, what do I know?
The most troubling quote for me came from the first article:
“In this situation, Maj-Gen Chamlong or Samak cnanot take a step back. There must be a breaking point, otherwise the country will become disheartened. If we want to remove an abscess, we must be ready to face pain to get rid of the infectious part.”

“…pissed off at the disruptive tactics of the PPP…”
shouldn’t that read “tactics of PAD?”
