One killed in Thai clash in Chiang Mai

A MAN has been killed in a clash between pro and anti-government supporters in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai shortly after the Prime Minister arrived in the city, police say. Fighting between the rival groups broke out on Wednesday after premier Somchai Wongsawat flew in from a foreign trip to receive the news that the army chief had asked him to call elections in a bid to end months of political protests.

"There was an argument between a red shirt group and a yellow group in front of the radio station and a man was attacked and killed,'' Lieutenant Colonel Atipong Thongdaeng of Chiang Mai police said.

He said it was not clear whether the victim was from a pro-government group, which usually wear red clothes, or if he was part of the movement against Somchai's administration, which is often clad in yellow.

Why am I not surprised.

I have just watched Somchai's speach and he claims he knew nothing of what was hapning here while he was in Peru !!

Bullshit always smells

Much like the stock market, once it becomes obvious the trend is down you can count on it accelerating. The dam_n is broken now this country should descend into 4th world status shortly. People never see it coming. The only problem is foreigners can't legally arm themselves and I'm in a position where I can't leave another 6 months. Time to ride the landslide.

I live very close to the Chiang Mai airport. We are building a home. This may not be civil war. The Thais last had a civill war in when, 1118? I could leave, but I think we are over-reacting. Shit, I hope so
