Red shirt protesters

I blogged a few months ago about a red shirt protest here in Ubon. It was all over the Deputy Commerce Minister Alongkorn Polabutr who was visiting. There were a few hundered of them and at least double that number of Police. It makes you wonder what would happen if the Prime Minister would happen to visit.
I guess we will find out as he arrives this Saturday I have been told.
As Peppers is located so close and on the main road to the airport we get a lot of airport and airforce customers. Between them and our regular customers we get a good source of local information as to who is coming and going.
As I type a contingent of red shirts are in the shop eating and planning what is to happen on Saturday so I hope to have more information for you soon.
