Thailand’s political conflicts recommenced on May 26th, 2008, with PAD’s opposition to the Constitutional amendments of PPP, and then with governmental administration issues of concern to the nation; notably an agreement with Cambodia over Preah Vihear temple, government officials shuffled for political benefit, and the construction of new parliament buildings with the inconsiderate eviction of students and local residents. These events led to the expulsion of Samak’s government through the seizure of Government House on August 26th, 2008, which prevented the daily work of government. In addition, strikes took place at airports, railway stations, and at Klong Toey port, affecting normal conditions for Thai society and the economy.
