Red Shirt Frenzy

Right now, there's a lot of political tension in Bangkok from the Red Shirt Party. At Government House yesterday they spilled 1,000,000 cc's of blood, donated by the Red Shirt protesters. They dumped blood again this morning at the Prime Minister's house, begging him to step down.

There were constantly parades going stopping traffic all over Bangkok, and I was interested to see what these rallies were all about. So I headed down to Government House to spend a day in the heat with the Red Shirt Party.

Below are some photos I took...
