"Army top brass satisfied with peaceful shutdown....". Really? The army is 'satisfied' that a small number of troublemakers are trying to shut down the capital city of Thailand, and they have no intention of doing anything about it?

Yes, the Thai way. To be number one. In any other country in the world the armed forces would kicked the home already, but not here. The armed forces here is not a goverment instrument, it lives it`s own life.

The Army is waiting for the reds to get involved and kick off with the violence, then we will see the Army spanking the militant reds (again)

talking to some red shirts ......it is not going to happen......no need to...they are just waiting it out!

People will soon get tired of Suthep!

You better hope that's the case...

... personally, i think the reds will 'tire' of him first and kick off a campaign of violence, masked drive-by shootings, throwing grenades at protest leaders houses etc...

... or perhaps they have already?

You have a wrong attitude mate. Who told you any reds did it ???? I think the Benito Suthep organised it.

The international recognised legally elected government of Thailand should sack this bloke. He do not carry out his obligations to the government of the kingdom Thailand. Do not give him the pay check this month.

Good luck asking the stubborn boneheads Abhisit and Suthep to the negotiating table.

Instead the UN should just go ahead and send peace keeping troops.

Can they do that? I mean without asking permission from the Thai military or the caretaker P.M.

Yes they can do. But normally they will do this in a cooperation with the legally elected government. The army is a subdivision of the government, so there are no reason to ask them.

So he didn't speak with Suthep. Interesting - does that mean the UN doesn't recognise Suthep as a legitimate player in this?

Yes. He is not !!!!!!

The first big traitor. Stop this traitors salary, confiscate everything he assets.

Fog ????? I think it`s the smoke from the farmers wild burning of everything. The are burning their fertilizer....

This police corps calls them Royal, hmmmmm ???

Why do not the government order the army to do this ? Why ask them ? Is it an army from another country ?

Peaceful protests

Protest leaders fault. He is to blame.

Abishit and his democrat party is irrelevant now. They do not intend to be a part of the democratic process the election is. They are not a part of the Thai political community any longer. Why should anybody listening to them, or care about them ?The name of this so-called democrat party is also irrelevant, because they are against the democracy.

I just bought Michelin tyres for my Vigo 4 x 4, 6000 bath each. 265/70 x 16.

Maybe OCP could be so kind that they tell us which brands we should avoid ? If they did their report would be worth something. As it is now, their report is only rubbish.

"Suthep said he wanted Yingluck to step down before the election, creating a "power vacuum" that could be filled by his proposed handpicked council." Very democratic indeed ! Heil Suthep, der Furer.

in Suthep 's mouth : corrupt politicians Thaskin S. should face death terms!

because no way, him or his "democrat" party will vote this law! yes he his crazy but not to the point

to dig his own grave

You can never know. Mad dogs does many strange things. What suprise me is that so many are tailgating the dog.

Well the death penalty for corruption by politicians was how China first dealt with the problem. The public execution of a senior Minister for corruption soon eradicated the problem, or at least pushed it much much further underground. In fact most of Sutheps rants are pretty 'Chinese' in a way. I commend him for taking what appears to be a harsh and serious stance against the cancer that holds this country back, but as the old saying goes 'It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it' !

I am not sure having ex Military men as Minister of Defence is a good idea either. As ex Military my experience would show that favouritsm/nepotism would be just as bad and you need someone to make impartial decisions whilst being advised by Military Experts.

My comments on here have gone down 75% since this started, It's too much hassle keeping up. Let them get on with it, life is not affected one iota where I live and the baht continues to weaken against the major currencies. happy days!

I suggest they first of all shoot the dictator spawn as an example. Maybe that is the only one necessary to kill.

I don`t like the way this is happening, but the democratic lady should not forget her governments stand on the rights of free speak, internet sensor and the peoples freedom in general. Her government used a lot of power to prevent the freedom of speak.

Now is it in reality a political rift or a rogue political family led by a fugitive from justice causing the majority of the discontent we have just seen publicly manifested ?

Truth be known it is a renegade political family and its renegade leader that by their manipulating the political scene that have brought the country to the brink of what could and yet may be a disastrous outbreak of civil disorder which of course may demand the entry of the military to restore civil order.

Methinks that the good general is making a public announcement in a genteel fashion to all involved to toe the line so to speak, politically and family wise.

The people have made their feelings plain, hence the Thaksin clan along with all of their ilk should listen and step back from the brink and do Thailand and its peoples a favour, depart from the political scene now and remain out of that scene for many years.

Who is this general working for ? The nation Thailand or his army ?
