Thailand Government Declares State of Emergency

September 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej and the Thai government have announced a state of emergency in Thailand as Bangkok protests continue according to The Independent.

The mass protest is primarily driven by pro People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) designed to oust Samak who is considered a proxy for the former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

The anti Thai government protests have shut down at least three airports severely affecting the Thai tourist market.
