Office workers join PAD demonstration on Silom Road

The demonstration by the People's Alliance for Democracy on Silom Road Friday morning received a lot of attention from the passers-by and office workers there.

Many office workers left their office to join the demonstration.

They received video CDs distributed by the PAD supporters. The video CDs were published to denounce bloody crackdowns by police against protesters on October 7.

Amorn Amornrattananon, a PAD leader, urged employees of CP Group to support 'new politics' and urged CP executives to stop supporting the government.

Amorn spent about 20 minutes to speak in front of the CP Building on Silom Road, urging employees of the CP Group to support new politics and urge owners of businesses on the road to boycott police.

Hope this rally gets a much, much wider support!

Some of the Thai staff from my office, atleast part of the way, joined the march. And I would say that me knowingly all but one of the Thai staff supports anti-PPP movements. (And no-one is giving the odd guy out any problems at all for not following the others view. Just a FYI.)

PAD goes to Patpong! Sondhi and Chamlong pole dancing together; oh my!

Protesters disperse at Sarasin Intersection

The protesters led by the People's Alliance for Democracy dispersed at the Sarasin Intersection at 1:05 pm while they were heading to Central World.

Two PAD leaders - Anchalee Prareerat and Amorn Amornrattananont - were leading the protesters to Central World but Somsak Kosaisuk, a PAD leader, who was at the rear of the procession asked the protesters not to head to the direction.

After the procession started to move from the Lumpini Park to World Trade, Somsak had his sound truck speed up to the front of the procession and managed to halt it at the Sarasin Intersection.

Somsak asked the demonstrators to dispersed and regroup at the Government House.

[TAWP]

Unfortunately Pokemon was unable to join them, on the catwalk, perhaps it's her dayweek at the beauticians' ?

Amen!

Not to mention some people are trying to go to school and educate people, or to be educated.

(And on a Friday night, some educators are also wondering if it's safe to have a few drinks on Silom road tonight.)

[TAWP]

Of course it is safe to go out, the march was a 3h thing, to hand out VCDs and allow some people to show their support, I suppose.

The news says the crowd dispersed themselves some block down after passing here, see news posting above.

[long]

does PAD paid them salary ? does PAD paid their chilren study fee? does PAD paid them food ? if PAD can not do this, why ask them stop to work ?

Is PAD a PAID sponsor of TV?

[TAWP]

Uh, what? The march was done at a time many workers around here went to lunch. Should we stop our staff from taking lunch now?

I didn't go out to any march.

[MKAsok]

You quite sure this was the People's Alliance for Democracy and not the People's Alliance for Longer Lunch Breaks?

[lifeisrandom]

ive got 200 baht worth of water balloons who wants in ?

[TEFLMike]

I have just tried to play the Video and it tells me that the 'video is no longer available.

That's because it only had a shelf life of 30 mins.

[TAWP]

The video is still up. However one can time out to Youtube and get the same message too - it doesn't always mean the video is down/gone.

Click the link to go to Youtube and watch it there if the embedded version fails for you.

What do you mean? Do you mean that most people in your office support PPP, and only one person doesn't?

Try again mate.

Clarify, good chap.

[TAWP]

"all but one" = everybody except one.

"anti-PPP" = does not like PPP, some might like PAD, most are just against PPP.

This is in regards to the Thai staff. The non-Thai (us being in a numeral minority) has no real expressed view most of the times. Unless we argue American politics or somethings.

What's there to argue about? That stuff is like, for brain dead , comparing to the complexities of the local scene.

People show their support to anti-government protesters who marched through Silom Road on Friday. They distributed CDs and books about the brutal crackdown on protesters on October 7.

Except here, where the result was 62% against PAD. Still, I guess you and the other half dozen prolific PAD posters don't want to remember that.

Good!

The more support the better
