Pattaya Red Shirts Gather At Local Red Shirt Radio Station After Thaksin’s Supreme Court Decision

Following the Supreme Court decision relating to the seizure of some assets belonging to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, a group of around 100 red shirts gathered at the office of People Radio 89 FM which is located in Soi Day Night 2 in South Pattaya following rumors that soldiers from the Sattahip Navy Base were going to arrive and force the station to close. Trucks fitted with loud speakers soon arrived and told the gathered Red Shirts what may happen. They were determined not to allow this to happen. The rumors appeared to be false and the station continues to broadcast for now, despite similar stations being shut down in Bangkok after the Supreme Court decision which seized 46 Billion Baht of Thaksin’s money. The situation around Thailand remains volatile and should you encounter groups of Red Shirts here in Pattaya, please do not shout at them or abuse them in any way as this could put you and others in danger.
