This, as we all  know,   is a renewal of the "yellow shirt" movement that shut down the

Bangkok airport a few years ago. There used to be a nice custom in Thailand that

people could wear a yellow shirt on Mondays to honor  the king. It is a shame that this

custom is lost because people stopped wearing yellow shirts because they didn't want

to be identified with a political protest.

 Now the same protesters are wrapping themselves in the flag of Thailand.

Will we now have to stop wearing t-shirts decorated  with the Thai flag?

 I don't  want to be seen as supporting either side, yellow or red.because,

mostly these politicians want to line their own pockets and don't really care about the

average man. As guests in this country I think we have to be careful about taking

sides because their aren't any easy answers.
