Trouble thats been Brewing

OK so i didn't want to start the blog with a negative but there has been a lot of trouble in Thailand that has been playing on my mind, between the PAD (People's Alliance for Democracy.) and the present Government, now i don't want to get political but it seems to me that PAD aren't happy with their current society, for people that aren't aware i believe there is a high level of corruption in Thailand.

Yet the current Government has a massive following in the more rural parts of Thailand which is were the majority of their votes come from, basically the PAD doesn't agree with the current Government and are demonstrating ( allegedly peaceably) saying they want the current government out and have been demanding his resignation.
Now while I'm sure these people feel whole hearted about their issues however in a Democracy there is a democratic process to be followed and this is not only illegal but undermines the democratic process as its a case of whoever shouts loudest, and no matter how relevant their issues maybe the route the have taken has undermined any respect i would have for them.

The police deploying tear gas before realising it was a bit heavy handed.




A lot of angry people.


Update.

Apparently they are now lifting the sieges to some of the airports tomorrow morning, i just hope that when we go in 10 days all the trouble has calmed down and we can get on with seeing the beautiful country peacefully.
