Reading News

Starting yesterday 3pm, my phone was ringing one hundred times... guess! I hope all the best for Thai people. Since I have been living in this country for 8 years, yes... I do fall in love some parts of them.

Actually Thai people are not blood boiling people as neighbouring. They are mostly happy people who love the seasonal festivals.


"Chai Yean Yean" means "Cool heart" is widely use in here. I guess now time is changing in all over the world.
Those people who lives in USA, and speaking out their own laws which suit to them must learn there are laws which we should abide with too. I am going to say it again here....

This Arizona Immigration law is so bothering me. People are looking at the picture with their small eyes. Most of them lost the big picture. I rather face the domestic problem them the whole country security. Do they know that terroistors are trying to come in different directions??

There was an Air line which involved with the Chinese Immigration people. Was a true story! This airline carried the Chinese people half around the world and drop them in Mexico to cross into the USA. Luckily this Chinese are coming to cook "Chow Mei or Chow Fun" ( Fry noodle or Fry rice), only. Thank goodness they do not want to blow up.

Oh well.. I do believe that my contry can taking care of the Business. They know what they are doing! So lets see...

Here is today news from my on line, "The Naiton" said,

"Thailand tense after fresh violence

by Anusak Konglang

BANGKOK (AFP) -- Thailand was tense Friday after clashes between "Red Shirt" anti-government protestors and troops left one dead and eight wounded, including a renegade general allied with the demonstrators.

The fresh violence in the capital Bangkok late Thursday came after Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva shelved a plan to hold early elections in November and hopes faded for a resolution to the crippling political crisis.

Renegade Major-General Khattiya Sawasdipol, a key figure in the protest movement, was shot in the head and seriously wounded while he was giving an interview to a newspaper journalist close to the protesters' sprawling camp.

Another demonstrator died in clashes with security forces.

Defiant Red Shirts vowed no surrender, despite the shooting of the fiery general, known by his nickname Seh Daeng.

"If you think the shooting of Seh Daeng will scare leaders and make them not dare to take the stage, you are wrong," one of the protest leaders, Jatuporn Prompan, said at the rally site in central Bangkok.

"No matters what the weapons are, it means nothing to people who are calling for democracy like us. We will not leave here as losers."

The Reds say the government is undemocratic because it came to power in a 2008 parliamentary vote after a court ruling ousted elected allies of their hero, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was unseated in a 2006 coup.

Abhisit said he had ditched a plan to hold elections in mid-November under a peace plan aimed at ending the tense standoff because the protesters were refusing to disperse from their vast camp in the heart of Bangkok.

The mostly poor and working class Reds, who launched their campaign in mid-March for immediate elections, initially agreed to enter the process but efforts to reach a deal that would see them go home eventually broke down.

Bracing for further possible unrest, the government extended a state of emergency already in place for the capital and surrounding areas to 15 more provinces.

The United States said it was "very concerned" about the violence, and closed its embassy because it is close to the protest site.

"The government has to continue to have a dialogue with the demonstrators and they need to reach an agreement on a path forward," State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters.

Asked if there was a threat to democracy, he said: "There are fundamental fissures within Thai society and the only way to resolve this and to develop a civil and inclusive society is through peaceful negotiation."

Thirty people have been killed and 1,000 injured in Bangkok in a series of confrontations and attacks since the protests began in mid-March. It has been Thailand's worst political violence in almost two decades.

Hours before the general was shot the army had warned it would deploy snipers in the area around the Reds rally site as part of a lockdown aimed at preventing more protesters entering.

An army spokesman had said troops would surround the rally site with armoured vehicles and that demonstrators would be allowed to leave but not enter the area.

An unsuccessful attempt by troops on April 10 to clear a different area in the capital's historic district sparked fierce street fighting that left 25 people dead and hundreds wounded."

I just wish that every body has "Chai Yean Yean." IT would be much happier if that's the case. I am just delighted to read things about peace and unity. I enjoyed reading your blog. More power to you and to your site.

Read the news in a whole new way
