george Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Chai flees to Vimarnmek Mansion BANGKOK: -- Parliament President Chai Chidchob fled from Parliament to Vimarnmek Mansion at 4:42 pm. He climbed over the fence of Parliament's into the mansion's compound. About 200 senators and MPs also fled across the fence to hide inside the mansion for fear that the protesters would storm in to the Parliament. -- The Nation 2008-10-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunderland Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Never seen someone smile as much as Chamlong after his arrest. Perhaps he's just after a good sleep and some peace and quiet. Can't blame him really. The whole PAD protest thing has lasted longer than Paul McCartney's world tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Channel 3 reporting that the PAD are preparing themselves against further tear gas attacks with masks and scarves. I guess that won't help much if your legs are blown off or your car blows up! Now reporting that some PAD members are carrying rods and sticks to protect themselves .... or for fishing?

Hey Sunderland, I just want to inform people what is going on and I think it's not funny, people are getting hurt by each blast, and from 16:00 to 17:29 the fighting hasn't stopped. And thinking that in the morning the shootings lasted only 5 minutes resulting in 80 injured people. Have a guess what are the consequences right now?

coalminer Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 There are some reports of police stopping ambulances at parliament and one of them shooting out the tyres. I dont know how reliable this is but it doesnt sound good. Where are the peaceful and helpful PAD DEMONSTRATORS to INFLATE the tyres again ..................

I apologise. Where are you exactly? Close to Suan Dusit? Wongsawat speaking on NBT now ... looks way out of his depth. He won't even last as long as Samak did. Lamb to the slaughter. Out before the end of the month. He'll soon wish he hadn't bothered filling the position. Rightly or wrongly, he was never likely to last long with his strong links to Thaksin.

coalminer Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 How the hel_l can they deny access by ambulances. WRONG WRONG WRONG your getting as wound up and emotional as those PAD <deleted> that just blew themselves up in there car, obviously premeditated. and to hammered: what did they expect, are they not calling themselves an Army? Don't play the sypathy vote, it's wasting my time and that of Thai's that see things the way I do. Go police, clear the streets and gov house.

mrtoad Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Certainly looks like the end game is being played out. The chaos suites a certain person sat in London. Army back in control within 48 hours? If so, Thaksin will also use that as a further justification as to his supossed persecution and need for asylum.
