I have seen other opinions on the web, suggesting that the king is helpless to react and that his not feeling good to deliver his traditional birthday speech was forced uppon him. There are those that are against the king and may want to destroy his image in the eyes of the Thai people and the world. Those who say they are for the king (the yellow shirt) are the same those who say they are representing the Thai people. If you do not think they represent the Thai people and that most thais wont agree to the PAD, why do you believe they represent the Thai King? It is all their own interest and purpose behind such actions.
The "protest" is of paid protstors whom earn a high daily "allowance" (I've heard its 1000 bhat a day if there are no bombs or risks, higher if there are incidents). For most Thais, 1000 bhat a day is a lot of money and they just come to a job of protesting.
I have learned that in Thailand (and other places) not what you see is what it is, there are a lot of under the surface problems that most non Thais don't know.
Long live the king!

We have just had a mini Suvarnabhumi type protest at London stansted which closed the airport for 5 hours.
Some tree-huggers broke through the perimeter fence and took their own fence panels to the taxi-way and chained themselves to the fencing.
Only 39 arrested last time I heard, the police said they couldn't just drag the protesters off, they had to treat them with sensitivty.
Bit too cold for yellow or red shirts though

Report from Bangkok Post dated Wednesday 7 January 2009 :-
Airport closure 'cost B290 bln'
=======================
The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) 's closure of Bangkok's two airports last year have cost the country 290 billion baht, according to a study conducted by the Bank of Thailand.
Entitled Thailand's Tourism Industry After The Closure of Airports, the study said the political crisis not only affected tourism industry but also other related industries.
"Based on analysis, total losses were 290 billion baht, equivalent to
3.0 of nominal GDP (gross domestic product)," the study said.
According to the study, the losses included 120 billion baht in the service industry,
90 billion baht in logistics and 60 billion baht in industry.
The closure of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports took place between Nov 25 and Dec 4, as the PAD demanded the removal of a government led by Somchai Wongsawat.
