You're so so right siamploee, some things never change. The same old people have brain fade whenever they see this video.

Did you forget to add the rider that this is from March 2010 and shows payoffs to pick-up drivers for fuel and food for taking red shirts to a rally?

If it cost a 1000 to actually get them to join the rent a mob...how much does it cost to get them active with petrol and matches?

As per usual you adhere to the gospel according to Saint Shinwatra and the Red Shirts.

Red is right,

No doubt as you claim to be English you have a picture of Saint Scargill above your bed too

Forgotten this one have you?

That is the previous buying of protesters scandal. This is a new one, not to mention rumors on paid posters that are quite likely too.

Poor fab the reds cant even get a mob without including Cambodians or paying of their minions, then you got normal everday people paying Suthep so protests can be financed. I wonder what that says about the real support there is and it also explains vote buying on the red side with an target group like that its quite likely.

1,000 Baht a day when the minimum is 300 Baht. Sounds good to me.

Do I need a work permit to become a red shirt?

Yellows don't get paid, no way Jose.... but wait, they were paying 800b a day in my locale a few months ago, picking people up in pick-ups and heading for Suthep's Walks for Fascism Reform, and offering it to all and sundry.

I seem to remember that the anti govt demonstrators were actually paying Suthep during these walks iso the other way around......but of course you missed that part

[ozvenison]

Goh Hok report.. not worth the web page its written on..

[AleG]

Purely speculation, But where are the reds getting the money for this, I wonder if rice money is involved?

I can't remember the title of an article a few weeks ago, whether it was on The Nation or BP, were PTP sources talked about Thaksin's dissatisfaction with PTP MPs not "investing" enough on the Red Shirt mobilizations; anyone remembers?

Of course then the question would be, where do these MPs get the funds in the first place.

What goes around comes around.. of course the Suthep donations were all from the 'heart'

Red Shirts didn't get paid ... well join the queue. It's quite long though with several tens if not hundreds of thousands of farmers in front of you.

[Dogmatix]

These are not bribes. They were promised hire for casual work and then the offer was cancelled after they had already incurred out of pocket expenses and opportunity costs by travelling to Khon Kaen. Attending red shirt rallies is a job.

Oh I see.

[givenall]

Of course they are fake! Jattuporn said so, so it must be true!

And he is one that his name was withhold

[allan michaud]

Outstanding

And for those dumbasses on TV suggesting this is only a Red thing, <deleted>!

I know a couple in Khon Kaen that went to both the airport for the Yellows (B500 per day plus food and travel) and the Bangkok protests in 2010 for the Reds (the girl got the same as the yellow offer but the boy got B1,000 per day as he was prepared to get involved in violence if needed). They didn't care who was paying but were in fact supposedly Red supporters.

or just maybe it's from some mysterious and generous billionaire benefactor

Khon Kaen is part of the "red" heartland ? why do they need to pay anyone? If I remember rightly there was 50 at the coffin burning.

Have they complained in public that they never got paid

Next they will be wanting annual leave ,superannuation and travelling time entitlements.

[Thait Spot]

This per diem allowance would put them in the tax paying bracket so they can add tax evasion to the list

This is actually one of the most stupid things the reds could do, maybe next time red shirt will doubt they get paid to vote too.

Its starting to become a theme with the PTP not paying farmers.. not paying their rent a mob.

Now if the reds start to understand that they might not get paid they might vote sensibly instead of vote for money.

[Bluespunk]

Seriously though, what did they expect? PT hasn't paid the farmers for their rice, so why should their militia leaders pay for anything else? Cash up front with this lot.

[Robby nz]

Those of you who scoffed at Jutaporn when he said no one was paid to attend the red rallies now owe him an apology.

It seems he was right, people are only promised payment then don't get paid.

[belg]

you must be joking, only in thailand, hey, where is my promissed bribe...

[mikemac]

"RESPECT MY BRIBE"............T-shirts and placards available shortly .

That's pure gold ! Can I use that phrase ? Am getting a bit fed up with these stupid comments morons are making about respecting the peoples' vote.

"Respect my vote" my ass. The votes are nothing more than bribes, there is no way I will respect someone's right to take a bribe !

[mikemac]

I suppose we await TV's rabid reds to come along and say they are fake reds shirts and they where planted by Suthep to undermine "democracy"

Which of course is impossible because in the whole history of Earth there never has been a false-flag operation.

I for one think, again, as with some few but careful posts in Thai Visas, that this is very clever stuff. The yellows are out-propagandising the reds by miles with this subtle, black stuff. I suspect there's a mastermind and of course there are ALWAYS useful idiots to buy into it, not least of all right hear. But the core group behind this is quite good, actually. The health-service van one was excellent. This one is pretty good - as many comments attest.

.

You don't fool me Wanda4. You can post all the smug and condescending comments you like, but you don't fool me for one minute.

Not at all, I'll enlighten you again. This video was referring to the 500 baht allowance that Thais over 60 who do not have retirement benefits are entitled to. The pension fund was launched on April 9th 2009. Abhisit also added a populous programme of one-off 2000 Baht handouts.

It has been taken by people of less enquiring minds to refer to Thaksin talking about funding protesters or some other such BS.

Any other myth you'd like me to explain to you?
