Thai anti-government protest groups will consider holding a rally at Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s offices, a tactic used during a 2008 campaign that led to the seizure of Bangkok’s airports.
Groups that helped oust governments linked to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006 and 2008 met in Bangkok yesterday in a bid to remove his sister, whose party won a parliamentary majority in elections last year. Boonlert Kaewprasit, a retired army general, declared the demonstration a success and said the next one may be held at Government House.
