Isaan PDRC supporters add spice to Lat Phrao rally site (excerpts from The Nation, 15 Jan. 2014) Som Tam (papaya salad) with pickled fish is the most popular dish at the anti-government protesters stage set up at Lat Phrao Intersection. Issara Somchai hosted the crowd there yesterday. They come mostly from the Northeast and some from the north, commonly thought of as the red-shirt base, and now occupy this Lat Phrao stage area. There are about 10 kitchens to support these protesters from the northeast - so the main dishes are cucumber salad, traditional papaya salad or with salted crab or pickled fish. Other foods on offer are kaeng om bitter curry, fermented fish condiment and fried cow-peas with red curry paste. Nawamongkol Koosakul, a protester from Udon Thani, said on stage that red-shirt leader Kwanchai Sarakham had claimed Udon Thani is the capital city of the red-shirt movement. But this isnt true, he said, because Udon Thani does not just have a red-shirt organisation, there is another group too. He told The Nation that the PDRC in Udon Thani had been threatened by the red shirts every time it held a rally. So the PDRC always informed the police and asked them to keep the peace among the protesters.
