The red-shirt supporters of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship will begin flood relief operations on Friday, UDD chairwoman Thida Thavornseth declared on Wednesday.

Ms Thida said a concert would be held at the Imperial Department Store at Lat Phrao in Bangkok and another in Nakhon Ratchasima to garner donations on Oct 14.

A centre to receive flood donations would also be set up at the Imperial Department Store, Lat Phrao and Ngam Wong Wan branches. The centres would remain open in the long run.

In times of crisis, the red is still playing the color game - shame. Take off your red shirts and work along the Thai citizens - ironic how they want reconciliation yet they are still taking sides.

History book 2013. Miss Thida and her red shirts have begun flood relief operations on Friday 14.10.2011. At that time, much of the area had been flooded for weeks. Khun Jatuporn was seeing packing sand bags in Lopburi on Christmas Eve.

For all his fine words, there only three words that really matter to Amsterdam: “Client Billable Hours”.

The puppet Amsterdam should demand that the person who planned and bankrolled the attacks on hospitals, arsons and killings of innocent Thais & soldiers will be punished.

@Amsterdam. 'The soldiers involved could not be left unpunished.'

The red and black shirts involved could not be left unpunished. Reconciliation is not one-sided.

'as determined by local red-shirt leaders' hmm, thats not a good idea! it should be as determined by local rescue services. And a bit late in the day, flooding problems have been going on for a while, their help should have been there from day one!
