who benefits from this violence? Financially and politically?

Anyone posting that silly "Thailand?" commentary after this note is identifying themselves as an utter nitwit.

“Thailand’s army stormed the Red Shirt anti-government protest camp in Bangkok Wednesday, and the movement’s leaders were arrested. But enraged demonstrators fanned across the city setting fires…”

According to AP it’s winding down now

Curious how this unrest might (or might not) spread to the Chiang-Mai and Chiang-Rai regions.
They will probably work very hard to keep Phuket peaceful since loss of tourism income would be brutal for that country.

“Thai protest leaders surrendered themselves to police and told their followers that the protest was over”

Last update I heard was that.... I thought things were under control and winding down—sorry to hear that’s not the case.

I have seen very little about the events over there on the MSM. A friend on Facebook told me about it.

It’s getting ugly.

I’ll bet the folks on Koh Samui are as laid back as ever, and the beach is just as nice as ever....

“Protesters” dang, that is what the Confederate Army during the Civil War was, “protesters”.

Dang, double dang, and triple dang. Are flights still being routed through Bangkok?

(Mrs. Altair is scheduled for a brief stopover there on Friday). Sigh.

So the Thai people have more guts than most Americans.
