Around 5,000 people are still protesting in the streets of Thailand. Protesters calling themselves the "Red Shirts" are out in the streets fighting with the Thai Army because they are upset with the current government. Back in 2006, Thailand had a coup where they exiled former PM Thaksin out of the country. These Red Shirts are people who want Thaksin to come back into power, however he was exiled due to corruption while in office.
