The PAD or People's Alliance for Democracy has challenged PM Samak's government with several mass demonstrations as well as an attempted take over of the NBT communications center. The police have reacted with calm force, although most farangs are once more siding with the fascist rules of law and order judging from the angry entries on several expat forums.
At least one group of people have kept their humor while everyone else is losing theirs.
NOT THE NATION has another take of the present crisis.

World Media Insists All of Thailand On Fire, All Thais Dead
BANGKOK - Despite the relative calm following PAD intrusions into several government offices, the world media continue to claim that the country has collapsed into anarchy and chaos. As ordinary Thais go to their daily jobs and lives, The New York Times writes that the “government has been shut down and social order revoked by an organized army of over a million protesters.” Even though only three schools near the Government House have suspended classes, CNN has placed all Thailand-related stories under a flaming banner reading “Civil War in Siam,” with story leaders describing city-wide power outages, roving mobs of homicidal anarchists, and rumors of an inevitable military intervention by “UN peacekeepers.” Even with the actual death toll at 0 and the number of severely injured at 0, FOX NEWS continues to stand by its story that Parliament was burned to death in its chambers, Communists are fighting monks in running street battles using tactical nuclear weapons, and every Thai child is being raped by a foreign pedophile who supports Barack Obama.
