Red Shirt Protests: Day 46
When I began photographing the Red Shirt protests, over six weeks ago, it would have been easy to confuse the gathering at Bangkok’s Phan Fa Bridge for the Thai equivalent of a European music festival. You could never make the same mistake now.
Red Shirt Protests: Day 16
An escalation of anti-Government Red Shirts congregate outside the 11th Infantry Barracks in Bangkok in an attempt to force the Prime Minister to dissolve Government
Red Shirt Protests: Day 15
The fifteenth day of the anti-Government protests saw the Red Shirts take to the streets of Bangkok once again.
Red Shirt Protests: Day 8
The carnival atmosphere returned, on the surface at least, to the anti-Government Red Shirt protests in Bangkok today. The Reds temporarily abandoned their stronghold at Pha Fa Bridge and set-off on a rally through the city streets.
Red Shirt Protests: Day 4
Leaders of the anti-Government UDD party today carried out their threat to spill blood at the gates of Government House and at Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’s Democrat party offices in Bangkok today
Red Shirt Protests: Day 3
The third day of the Red Shirt protests saw the demonstrators divide their efforts and split into groups, each targetting different parts of the city.
Red Shirt Protests: Day 2
The second day of anti-government protests are reaching a conclusion as I write this and, thankfully, they have remained peaceful and good-humoured. The crowds from yesterday have grown to an estimated 50,000 although the organisers of the demonstration claim that the numbers are far greater. There are certainly sufficient numbers to cause chaos in the city if the planned disruption proceeds.
Red Shirt Protests: Day 1
Supporters of exiled Thai Premier, Thaksin Shinawatra, known as “Red Shirts” began to gather in Bangkok today, beginning a series of protests aimed at unseating the current Government. A mass rally is planned for tomorrow, Sunday 14th, when organisers claim that over 100,000 anti-Government protesters will join the rally.
