Anti-Thaksin Movement (all)

2515 images Created 27 Nov 2013

Thaksin Shinawatra, the outlaw, exiled former Prime Minister of Thailand is loved by his Red Shirt supporters in northern Thailand and the Isan region and loathed by the Thai Democrats and their supporters in Bangkok and southern Thailand.

There are several groups opposed to Thaksin but most have their roots in the Yellow Shirt movement that paralyzed Bangkok in 2008 when they occupied the airports. The groups have fractured and reformed since then but most have stayed active.

In late 2013 the anti-Thaksin movement picked up steam when former Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban ignited a new series of protests. Suthep's protestors occupied several government ministry buildings and threatened to occupy government complexes outside of Bangkok. This is the most serious threat to the government since the 2008 airport seizures.

These are all of the photos I've made at anti-Thaksin protests. Photos of the Red Shirts (who support Thaksin) are in the Red Shirts (all) gallery.

  • 16 MAY 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: PDRC protestors sit in the street in front of the Thai parliament building in Bangkok. Thousands of protestors from the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) surrounded the Thai Parliament complex Saturday to pressure the Thai Senate to select an interim Prime Minister to replace ousted former PM Yingluck Shinawatra. The Senate decided not to appoint an interim PM of their own and announced a meeting with the current interim Prime Minister. The protestors left the parliament complex and threatened to return in larger numbers if the Senate doesn't act. The Senate appointment of an acting PM could plunge Thailand into chaos since there is already an interim Prime Minister from the ruling Pheu Thai party.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
