From Drama to Turmoil


The curtain of Thailand political drama rose in September 2006 when Prime Minister Thaksin and his government were overturned by military coup.

After 2 years, the political drama seems turning into political turmoil. The most recent occupation of Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International airport and old Don Mueang airport by anti-government protesters is aggravating the already weaken social stability as well as the deteriorating economy.




Currently, there are more than 3000 tourists are trapped in the airport. No air plane is allowed to depart or arrive from the airport. Anti government leaders take over the control of the airport and Airways must get their consent before they can use the airport facilities.

Anti government leaders are hoping military’s intervention but the powerful army chief General Anupong Paojinda has singled out another coup will be staged by army this time.

Government spokesman hints that due to current situation the premier may call the parliament to dissolve and call for an election in order to end the current political turmoil. But the anti government leaders have refused in this solution.

The prolong political turmoil in Thailand has divided the thai into two different groups. The red-shirt represents the pro-government while the yellow-shirt represents the anti-government.
However, these poor people in fighting each others seems like never aware they are only tool of two great men who sacrificing their life and country future just for their own political gain.

No matter who win the war, the thai people will be always on the losing side.
