There was quite a bit of speculation in the media during the protests in Bangkok two years back, and amongst the "red shirt" protesters themselves about the possibilty of civil war, or even mounting a guerilla fight from the northern jungles in Thailand against the "yellow shirt" government.
A General in the Thai Army even defected to the protesters side, but took a snipers bullet to the head soon after. IF he hadnt been killed, could he have taken his hardline supporters and started an insurgency ?
What was the chances that such a conflict have broken out ?
