Red V’s Yellow update

October 9, 2009 · 3 Comments

Today was the turn of the yellow shirts to take over Peppers for drinks and a planning session about the arrival tomorrow of Thailand’s Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
After the yellow shirts left the top brass of the Police and security personal from Bangkok then took up a few tables as well for more then an hour.
No matter who we support , one thing is for sure – it is good for business!!
It seems that the yellow shirts have booked solid at least one hotel in town (The Regent) which would suggest a fairly large contingent of protesters coming in from Bangkok to go up against any kind of local Red Shirt gathering.
It is going to be an interesting day tomorrow for sure!

    Sounds like all the protesters were outsmarted by the govt officials, very clear using a helicopter to get around while the red-shirters were stuck in road blocks and checkpoints.

    Did he actually visit anywhere in Ubon or did he just land at the airport like the paper said?

    Perhaps a red and yellow sherry trifle on the menu might create a little harmony. Plastic glasses and cutlery might be nearer truth. Best of luck and I’m pleased to read Peppers till is ringing loud.
