Red shirts wear rebellion headbands to welcome Yingluck

BANGKOK: -- Red-shirt followers wore white headbands bearing the acronym “sor por por Lanna” ( the Democratic Republic of Lanna People) to welcome caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra during her visit to an OTOP trade fair held in Sankamphaeng district of Chiang Mai yesterday (Friday).

Some of the red shirts also carried little red and white flags as they cruised around the district in motorcycles to give morale support to Ms Yingluck.

The headbands and banners bearing the sor por por Lanna scronym are part of the increasing sign of dissent of the red-shirt followers against what they claimed as the ammart class in Bangkok for their alleged bias against the Pheu Thai government and increasing talk of separatism.

Here we go.....

This might be the straw that breaks the back

Republic means that you have a president as head of state.

The Lanna people are not republicans.

Get a better translation please.

Suthep has been dividing the nation with his speeches every night for the past 4 months.

This is the result. I hope he likes it.

It's his only achievement in 4 months.

I would nominate you as Interior Minister in a red cabinet if only Thai's gave a rats arse about farang opinion.

I think the translation is completely plausible, given certain other declarations that have happened recently. Sor = sao seua = Saatharanarach = Republic, Por = pao pla = Prachaathipatai = Democracy, Por = pao pla = Prachaachon = Citizen / People.

The same mind set as the average Bay City Roller fan four decades ago.

Suthep has shone a bright light on this government, its failed policies and mounting debt, causing the cockroaches to run for the darkness. If they decide that they want to form their own little destitute ghetto and rob each other blind, that is their own business, and certainly no fault of Suthep.

However, those advocating secession might want to take a look at the penalties that apply to the crime of real sedition.

If you haven't noticed, the OP is about Thai opinion.

Just showed this to my wife (well educated Thai) and she has no idea what you are talking about.

Does your "Saatharanarach" have the same anti monachy meaning as the English word "Republic"?

If the people of Issan want to become a republic then let them.

I just hope they have to get apply for a work permit, get a visa, do 90 day reporting and are denied the right to buy land or get a personal loan from the banks, just like any other foreigner. If they decide to move or work in The Kingdom of Thailand.

Sorry to be so cynical but this is just a power grab, an opportunity by some of the more extreme elements of the red shirt movement to make a play for carving out their slice of the pie. To convince the people of Issan they are better off without the rest of Thailand, with the reds as their leaders and a select few of the reds in charge of the purse strings.

Will Suthep suffer the same penalties for calling for the overthrow of democracy and the imposition of an unelected people's council? It's not as if he hasn't called for violence to further his goals either (remember his recent "popcorn" speech).

The fact that he is not in jail right now highlights Thailand's current lack of rule of law, which is fuelling all of this secession stuff.

Another ridiculous Troll post, from The Thai Rouge Ministry of Propaganda.

Don't be so dense.

Once again, the red sympathizer can't defend the actions of his traitorous mob. So he blames others. How pathetically expected.

If they did manage to somehow create their own republic it would be a state of anarchy.

If anyone could be bothered to write a constitution or a set of laws, not one bugger would follow them.

A question for the Thai Rouge supporters. Do you support a breakaway republic from The Kingdom of Thailand?

So was she shoping at this fair?

Thaksin has been dividing the nation with his speeches for the past 8 years.

Sort of works doesn't it?

Here we go.....

I think you might be right.

This will be a step to far IMO

Give yingluck enough rope and she will hang herself.

The silence is deafening

Hopefully the caretaker-PM (for a few more days at least) immediately told those of her supporters who are republicans off, and made it very clear, that she & her family & her party & their UDD-street-organisation are totally against such a misguided idea ... didn't she ... ?

Or will there be a deafening silence, for the next few days, followed-up by a carefully-crafted ghost-written post on her Facebook account ?

Chiang Mai is the most wonderful place on the planet and will never be a 'little destitute ghetto' no matter who runs it.

My apologies, I mispelled one letter (morning dose of caffeine hadn't kicked in yet). Sor = sao seua = saatharanarat = republic. I mispelled one letter (should have had thao thaan instead of chao chaang), but the pronunciation is the same since it is at the end of a syllable.

Good grief. You haven't seen much of the world, have you? Climb up Doi Suthep (no pun intended) and see how 'wonderful' the pollution over Chiang Mai is. Ever heard of air quality? There is more to life than Northern women.

Someone's well educated wife is in denial. I read Thai better than I speak it and dru2's translation(now deleted) is correct.
