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.
