PDRC denies shutting subway and sky train services



BANGKOK: -- People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) spokesman Ekkanat Promphan yesterday denied report that the January 13 shutdown of Bangkok will include disruption of sky train and subway train services.

The spokesman’s confirmation of no disruption of the subway and sky train services and of no airport closures after it was widely circulated in the social media that protesters would disrupt train and airport services and any other mass transport services.

He asked the public to listen only to the PDRC leader Suthep Thaugsuban and not to fall prey to the social media’s unfounded reports.

we can only wait and see, but wouldn't be optimistic (judging from suthep backers are capable.

[DMG333]

They have other hinder objectives. Why would they want to do something that does not benefit their 'supporters'? ^^

[greg71]

Listen to only Suthep ,Are these guys for real .If he does tell ppl to take over bts and airports he will be shooting himself in the foot ,Take him out .

[FangFerang]

Who knows what schemes both sides are planning. I don't; and from what we are being "told" neither do the ranks below the Supreme Leaders of either side.

"spokesman Ekkanat Promphan yesterday denied report that the January 13 shutdown of Bangkok will include disruption of sky train"

This guy would know . . . . . he was named after two of the stations.

[whybother]

Why would they shut down the trains? That's how a lot of the protesters will get to the protest locations.

A scary picture of the future Thailand under Suthep!!

Not even his comrades in the revolution are informed and allowed to speak!

Everything has to come from the "Master" himself!!

Reminds me a little of the "Master in the dessert"

Same same, but different!

[retsdon]

It's pretty obvious that they're just making it up as they go along. But they never did have a plan. When the original protests against the amnesty bill were successful and Yingluk blinked, the democrat party decided to throw caution to the winds and go for broke to try and seize power back from PTP by whatever means possible - lawful or otherwise. So here we are - in uncharted waters.

What are you going on about? That doesn't look like Suthep doing the speaking in the OP.

[smutcakes]

I never knew this guy is Suthep's wifes/mistress's son. Talk about keeping it in the family.

[Raspberry]

I wonder who is the puppet behind Suthep. No one is ever this confident.

His wife and mistress had a son. That's impressive.

Yeah Thaksin should sue Suthep for trademark theft

[Curt1591]

I think that the crowds, planning to use public transit, will pretty much accomplish shutting it down themselves.

"He asked the public to listen only to the PDRC leader Suthep Thaugsuban and not to fall prey to the social media’s unfounded reports."

Now I'm confident.....coming down to Bangkok on the 13th......as planed.

Dear Leader....Please, don't let me down!

I assume you mean who is behind the puupet Suthep.

The "dessert" followed of course by a nice Arabic coffee.

Maybe these guys are cousins?

Aekannat Promphan...................Jatuporn Promphan.

...but this guy takes the cake....they promised to bring Bangkok to a complete halt and now, given a backlash, decide they didn't really mean it. What a piece of work...couldn't lie straight in bed.

Are they? Nothing would surprise me in Thailand.

Thanks for that article and the correction Curt.

Now a couple of questions on how to use this site. How do I get to see the new responses or posts automatically. I pressed the F5 button but to no avail. Also how to make it stop sending me emails for every responses....Thanks.

Still not high enough perhaps?

[chooka]

Yea and I bet they deny disrupting candidates from registering and will deny threatening people if they turn up to vote also. Biggest pack of idiot on the planet of the earth.

Quite possible in Thailand.

[GazR]

This is chess, not checkers. Sure Suthep's crazy - like a fox. And like the Red Shirt's in 2010, he's always had a pretty good idea of what his options are - although I doubt POW SIRIRAJ! POW KRUNGTHEP! are among them as they were for the Red Shirts.

I don't own a gun and never really thought much about it. In the last few years in the US the debate about gun ownership has been about the rights of the people to have guns vs. having too much guns. Now in Thailand where the Military is the only group that owns a large number of firearms and has absolute power, what can the people do to defend themselves and their country, if the army decides to take over. I've never believe in guns before but this would be the only time that I understood what the US second amendment means.

My 80 year old mother and two sisters are coming to Thailand January 15 for a two month escape of the

currently -35 C temperatures in Canada. So could you please hold off shutting down the airport a few days longer.

No they are the puppet handlers (the two generals) the puppet masters are the family of 200. This whole thing is about who will control an estimated fortune of $ 300 bn in future. I can't be more specific without breaking a certain law.

I didn't know there were two stations called "Stupid" and "Prat"...........
