Pro-Thaksin people seizes Thai PBS station in Chiang Mai
A group of over 100 red-shirt members of the pro-government camp yesterday laid siege to the Chiang Mai office of Thai Public Broadcasting Service (TPBS).
They demanded an apology from Thepchai Yong, the TPBS director, after the TV station reported that some government supporters were paid to join the Nov 1 rally in Bangkok's Rajamangkala stadium.
Petchawat Wattanapongsirikul, head of the pro-government "Love Chiang Mai" group, said group members were upset and would not leave the station's Chaing Mai branch until they got the apology from the TPBS director.
