I haven't been following the national news for awhile but just now I've just read that the protesters in Bangkok and other provinces went all out with their demonstration starting Tuesday. They've been on the streets for many months now. These anti-government protestors want the Thai Prime Minister Samak to step down. The Thai political situation has really been unstable here since Thaksin was charged with corruption, forced to resign through people power. And now, some Thais are still discontented with Samak saying he's an ally of Thaksin and asking him to step down too. On Tuesday, they regained control of the Government House compund. And today they've shut down the 3 major airports in Thailand, Hatyai, Krabi and Phuket and caused the rail services to be suspended. Here in Hatyai, thousands for protesters prevented the passengers from reaching the airport thus causing a major jam and halted air traffic.
Oh, it's so messy out here.. I don't know how everything will end. Whether Samak will really be forced to step down (just as how Thaksin) did or not. If he does, then I wonder who would replace him? Then, I wonder if majority of the people will like that person..then if not, they have a demonstration and again and the cycle will just go on and on... I just hope and pray that everything will be resolved peaceful and no one will get hurt.

Why there are many countries have chaos? Almost all the countries that has chaos is from ASIA. Maybe other country is just influenced by the other country. It's has a big effect to their economy as a country.
