An Hour with the Red Shirts at Victory Monument

Photos taken at Victory Monument on Friday April 10.

Jatuporn Promphan, a red-shirted leader, addressing the crowd from atop of a large truck.

There was lots of spray painted slogans around. Some particularly nasty comments were directed at Gen Prem...but a little to comically vulgar to post!

Many portraits of Thaksin of course.

Similar to the PAD protests which had masked guards, there were a few choosing to hide their identity.

"I love Thaksin" claims the placard on the policeman mannequin.

Thai TV news carried numerous reports of hospital access being blocked by the protesters but ambulances, as pictured above, were moving freely through the protest lines.

Just before 6 PM protesters packed up with some returning to Government House but, I suspect, most heading home for the Songkran holiday.
