The red shirt bikers in Chiang Mai ignored the curfew, coming out in force to set fires to car tyres in several places throughout Chiang Mai and attacked several Bangkok Bank's branches according to Thai Rath website.
Two fire trucks were set ablaze. Newin Chidchob father in law's Chiang Mai Construction Co building suffered extensive damages and was torched. However, the people in the buiding were prepared and could extinguish the fire.
The police and soldiers are now on motorcyle patrol to confront the red shirt bikers.
Anti-government protesters in the northeastern provinces of Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani created unrest and destroyed public properties on Wednesday night after many leaders of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) surrendered to the police earlier in the afternoon.
Reports said Bangkok Bank's Khon Kaen branch was totally obliterated by a group of demonstrators, who later travelled to Bhumjaithai Party MP Prachak Kaewklaharn's home. Clashes between the protesters and security guards erupted and at least six people were injured.
In Ubon Ratchathani, a number of protesters burned tyres and the provincial city hall. The entire building was destroyed. The protesters also clashed with authorities. Two demonstrators were shot dead and five people were wounded. The anti-government group then gathered at a community radio station led by UDD co-leader Thirapat Watcharapol.
Now Thailand should know that when you try to take someone property, this is what you got!
Damn you!!!! Cambodia News Why do you said that?
