Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I saw hundreds of people with white shirt at the entrance of suan lumpini with small flags of thailand. I think I read the word "yut หยุด" in red in their shirts, but I'm not totally sure, I'm not that good at reading fast

they stayed there only early in the morning for a speech, but I couldn't understand anything, saw them when I was in a bus

anyone know about this group? new protesters or something else?

*EDIT*

Nevermind I found about it already! it was a parade for peace ^^!

People, politicians parade for peace

By: BangkokPost.com

Published: 4/05/2009 at 10:13 AM Members of the public joined representatives from 21 private and public organisations, most donning white, in a gathering at Lumpini Park on Monday morning and calling on the various political groups to stop hurting the country.

They included Senate Speaker Prasopsuk Boondej, other senators and Thai Journalists Association secretary-general Pradit Ruangdit.

They gathered under the rallying cry, "Stop Hurting the Country, Stop Using Violence".

Prime Minister's Office Minister Satit Wongnongtaey and United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) core members were also present.

Participants pledged to help restore peace to the country.

Popular musicians led by singer Yuenyong Opakul, known as Aad Carabao, sang "Stop Hurting the Country" and the crowd of about 1,000 people later marched along Silom road to the Bangkok Bank's head office before dispersing.

King Prajadhipok's Institute secretary-general Borwornsak Uwanno called on the 'silent majority' to voice their opposition to the violence damaging the country.

He also demanded politicians work together to solve the country's problems in the parliament.

After Sondhi was shot (at) I noticed Somsak Kosaisuuk was wearing an all white outfit when he was giving interviews at the hospital. The Sondhi was wheeled out in all white, and of course he was in white when attacked. I suspect they are avoiding yellow (and obviously red) at least until things cool down, not least over the airport occupation charges.

yep, all we are missing is blue and green and we can organise a gay pride parade.

Good one. You made me laugh out loud.

I am getting ready to move to Thailand on a retirement visa. I had one red shirt and threw that in the trash. I'm not tossing my yellow and blue and white shirts.

I understand that one of the leaders of the red shirts was once one of the Communist leaders.

I thought we had blue shirts already. Didn't I read they were protecting the hotel at the attempted Asean summit in Pattaya?
