It is kind of funny to see many foreigners passionately taking sides in this. The leaders of both sides are equally crooked.

Wiki:

Red: "Thaksin Shinawatra founded the populist Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party in 1998 and became Prime Minister of Thailand from 2001 until 2006 when he was overthrown in a military coup. Thaksin has since lived in exile except for a brief visit to Thailand in 2008. He was convicted by the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions of abusing his power to help his wife buy public land at an auction, and was sentenced to two years in jail."

Yellow: "Surayud's government was a controversial one (2006-2008). There was a significant worsening in perceived levels of corruption during his government. Surayud's Deputy Finance Minister, Sommai Pasee, was sentenced to jail for abuse of power. Surayud raised the military budget by 35% and was accused of economic mismanagement, rampant human rights abuses, and flip-flopping on numerous policies. Article 19 ranked Thailand as falling behind Cambodia and Indonesia in terms of freedom of expression.Thailand's economic growth rate slowed to the lowest level in five years and was ranked the lowest in the region."
