About 50,000 red shirts from the Northeast will meet former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in Vientiane during the Songkran festival next month.

Red shirt leader Nisit Sinthuphrai said about 50,000 Thaksin supporters are expected to leave for Laos to meet him there as he pays a brief visit to Laos and Cambodia during the festival.

The red shirts would gather at the stadium of the Nong Khai provincial administrative organisation on April 11 and leave for Vientiane the next morning.

Their travels will be broadcast live on the pro-Thaksin Asia Update television station.

Mr Nisit said red shirt co-leader Jatuporn Prompan would make arrangements for another group of red shirts to meet Thaksin in Siem Reap of Cambodia.

Theppanom Namlee, a red shirt leader in Surin province, said red shirts from Yasothon, Buri Ram, Roi Et and Surin provinces would pass the Chong Jom border pass in Kap Choeng district of Surin on April 13 and head for Thaksin's whereabouts.

Welcome to Laos pe nong Isan :)

red shirts... was the other group were yellow shirts?  whats going on with that anyways, saw it popped up on cnn a few years back.

Kind of like Republican vs Democrats party in the U.S. yellow shirt are rich and middle class Jek/Thai , and red shirt are mainly North, Northeast Isan.

I want to start a new shirt... no shirt, that includes women. I think that would solve all the politics.
