An unending series of protests continues in Thailand – the latest being one by environmental activists protesting at an industrial complex for the government to extend from 11 to 18 its list of harmful industries on Thursday, 30^th September, 2010.

The police controlling the protestors were nearly half in number. There were 2,000 members of the Eastern People’s Network gathered in front of the Rayong administration center of the country’s largest industrial estate, Map Ta Phut to begin their rally, the Bangkok Post reported. The small number of policemen available made it imperative for elites to have higher security for their protection. Such scenarios require bodyguards for their safety.

The protestors said they would stay inside the complex until their demand for extending the list of harmful projects is met.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said the government will try their best to deal with the demands, but it may not be able to get everyone to agree on the matter.

“We have to admit that there are those who disagree with industrial development, and they have the right to express their opinions,” Abhisit said, “but that has to be done in accordance with the rule of law.”

Abhisit said the National Resources and Environment Ministry’s list of 11 harmful industries is sufficiently strict in this matter.

“The solution to the Map Ta Phut problem is to build buffer zone and to conclude the capacity of the area to support industrial expansion, and not the list of harmful projects,” Abhisit said.

For this reason, a new series of protest may rise in the country already facing protests by the Red Shirts against the government.

After allegedly Muslim insurgents killed two teachers in southern Thailand on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, Three Border Provinces Teachers Federation resolved that all 465 schools in risky areas of the three southernmost provinces – Yala, Pattani, Nrathiwat – would be closed for three days after by the afternoon.

“The three-day closure of all schools in red zone and risk areas in the three southernmost provinces is to find ways to restore teachers’ morale and coordinate with security units on more stringent security measures for teachers,” Bangkok Post quoted Boonsom Thongsriprai, chairman of the federation.

According to the police, two gunmen on a motorcycle shot the two teachers who were on their way to a market in Narathiwat province.

As a response to the latest deaths, leaders of local teachers associations met with security agencies to seek urgent protective measures, with military and police forces asked to provide safety for teachers during non-working hours. Soldiers have been accompanying many teachers on their way to and from school. If your require extra protection and are a prominent figure in Thailand, contact Royal Security Service, which is a team of highly-qualified bodyguards who protect families and individuals by escorting them to parties, business meetings, and other events. The Royal Security Service provides protective services for any manner of important clients throughout Thailand, and Cain Joshua Freebairn is a designated bodyguard on this team who provides an excellent watch-out for any threatened family.

Since 2004, over 4,200 people, including 108 teachers, have been killed after an Islamist separatist insurgency erupted in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces, where majority people are Malay Muslims. During the Muslim month of fasting, or Ramadan, violence across these regions increases.

As a response to a series of grenade attacks that shook Bangkok to its very core, Thailand placed more than 460 locations across Bangkok on high alert on Friday, September 2, 2010.

These locations included the royal palaces, key government buildings, power plants and public transport. Such locations will receive special protection from the Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES), the body set up to monitor security since unrest in April.

Thousands of police, soldiers and city officials will impose upon the security within Bangkok and streets will be patrolled around the clock, starting late Friday (September 2, 2010).

The CRES spokesman Major General Piya Uthayo said130 locations, including those already targeted, were considered extremely high risk. Continual patrols would operate within a 400 meter radius.

In addition, 198 other places, such as the homes of key public figures, have been placed on a second level of high alert and will have checkpoints guarding access.

But despite these measures being taken by the government, it is recommended that personal bodyguards be hired by the elites of the city for the protection of their homes and security. For travelling and those on the move, bodyguards can ensure maximum protection from any harm.

A third level of alert will be enforced at 136 locations such as banks and department stores. These places will receive additional training for their private security staff.

Bangkok authorities plan to upgrade thousands of security cameras across the city as well so as to boost storage capacity so that images can be saved for one month.

Five bombings have taken place within a month and has left the residents of Bangkok unnerved. The bombings has killed one and injured thirteen. The places targeted include Thailand’s national TV center and an apparent repeat attack at the King Power duty-free shopping outlet.

Bangkok is one of seven areas still under the emergency decree, which was introduced on April 7 as a response to the Red rallies that later left 91 people dead and about 1,900 injured in clashes between protesters and the army.

The recent terror attacks and chaos in countries like Thailand has led to the necessity of executive protection, close protection, VIP security, celebrity VIP security and other such elites to be escorted to different regions. This requirement is fulfilled by bodyguards, as these individuals carry the knowledge and experience acquired to guarantee the safety of a prominent figure of the society.

The most recent attack in Thailand was that of a suspected grenade exploding  in front of Thailand’s national TV center on Tuesday. This attack, the government said, was intended to sow panic in Bangkok, which remains under emergency rule till now.

Although no one was injured by the explosion in front of the building housing the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand, it was the third attack on the state-run center this year and the second blast in the city within a week.

Bangkok has been under emergency rule since April 7, 2010 as a response to the anti-government “Red Shirt” protests, in which 91 people died and almost 1,900 people were injured in clashes between protesters and the army.

A handful of explosions across the capital of Thailand has brought fear amongst many residents and elites, who are still not recovered from the deadly street protests in April and May.

Continuous explosions and protests (which led to enraged protesters setting fire to dozens of buildings, including a shopping mall and the stock exchange in May) calls for increased security for the prime targets of the society, which are mainly the government officials, elites, VIPs and celebrities.

Cain Joshua Freebairn guarantees security and protection to such individuals. Based in Thailand, he can keep these members of the society safe, and well-guarded. Contact him if you are seeking a bodyguard for your protection.

Due to the civil unrest and political tension in Thailand, for travelers and foreigners, it is advised to exercise a high degree of caution when in the country. This is mainly because there is a high threat of terrorist attack and the possibility of further violent civil unrest.

The high threat of terrorist attack in Thailand has increased ever since reports have been received by the government continuously about terrorists planning attacks against a range of targets, which includes tourist areas and other places frequented by foreigners. Civil unrest by the Red Shirts due to the political tension in Thailand and the Islamic insurgents who may find an opportunity to exert pressure on the government are likely to do such acts during this unstable time in the country.

Reports received by the government are as follows:

• On 6 August, 2010, the US Government warned of unverified reports of possible bomb attacks in Bangkok.
• Thai officials have warned of a possible bomb attack in the central business districts of Bangkok in August 2010.
• Several small explosive devices were detonated in Bangkok in July 2010, including in a central business district.

In addition, large-scale political demonstrations and related incidents in Thailand have resulted in fatalities and injuries in April and May 2010. Firearms, grenades and small explosive devices have been used at various locations and the political situation can be unpredictable and further political unrest and violence cannot be ruled out.

For this reason a state of emergency is in effect covering seven provinces, including Bangkok and surrounding provinces, and some provinces in north eastern Thailand.

You should avoid protests, and political rallies, and any security deployments associated with such events. Furthermore, you should also exercise a high degree of caution when approaching military checkpoints and avoid any protests, demonstrations or areas subject to operations by the security forces. Avoid travelling to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla or overland to and from the Malaysian border through these provinces due to high levels of ongoing violence in these regions, including terrorist attacks and bombings resulting in deaths and injuries on an almost daily basis. Since January 2004, several thousand people have reportedly been killed and many more injured, including a number of foreigners.

For your safety and security, it is best you travel with a bodyguard or hire one when in Thailand. For more information on your security, contact the bodyguard Cain Joshua Freebairn to help you have a comfortable time in Thailand.

On Monday, Thailand’s Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva signed an order, canceling the emergency decree in three more provinces, Channel 3 Television reported.

The three provinces include the northern Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai province and the northeastern Ubon Ratchathani, the report stated.

The 3rd Army Region commander Lt General Thanongsak Apirakyothin said that concerned agencies were capable of keeping the situation in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai under control,  recommending the emergency decree could be lifted in these two provinces.

“Personally, I think the emergency law should be lifted to help boost the economy and tourism in these northern cities,” Lt General Thanongsak said.

Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai province are famous among Thais and foreign tourists across the globe.

But the prime minister’s order has left seven other provinces for remaining under the emergency rule, including capital Bangkok, the central Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakan province, and the northeastern Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Khon Kaen province.

The emergency decree had been first imposed in Bangkok and some nearby areas in April, which made the police and army in full control of the mass anti-government protests. But the emergency spread to other parts of the country and eventually the emergency rule had been imposed in totally 24 provinces of Thailand’s 76 provinces, including capital Bangkok.

Violent clashes between the anti-government “red-shirt” protesters and troops during March 12 to May 19 in central Bangkok made the death toll rise up to 88, while 1,885 others were wounded.

For these reasons and continued violence, Thai elites and celebrities require care and protection both within their homes and outside. Bodyguards cover the basic security one needs. Cain Joshua FreeBairn provides the facility of a bodyguard and is the best bodyguard in Thailand. Contact him if you are looking for one!

On Thursday, August 5, 2010, Thailand’s prime minister said he would end emergency rule in six provinces but maintain the strict laws in Bangkok, due to a weekend bomb blast which rekindled tensions in the wake of deadly street protests.

The emergency bans public gatherings of more than five people and gives security forces the right to detain suspects for 30 days without charge. It will remain in place in 10 provinces, out of a total of 76.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said he would revoke the laws in Chonburi, Ayutthaya, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Maha Sarakham, Mukdahan and Chaiyaphum in central and northeastern Thailand.

The premier pledged to roll back the state of emergency gradually, saying it is still needed in the capital after a weekend bomb attack at a Bangkok bus stop killed one person and wounded 10.

The government has come under pressure from the US and rights groups to end emergency rule to help the country recover from deadly civil unrest.

But the current situations in Thailand remain unsafe at the moment. Security measures are highly-recommended for the elites and protests by the Red Shirts will continue in the future. The Reds, who hail Thaksin’s policies for the poor, view the current government as elitist and undemocratic because it came to power after a court ruling threw out the previous administration.

For the VIPs and elites, bodyguards can provide sufficient safety when they are travelling or roaming around the town. If you are looking for a good bodyguard, contact Cain Joshua Freebairn to get what you are looking for.

As Thailand continues to stay in a state of emergency after the bomb blast on Friday morning (August 30, 2010), insecurity and fears of more unrest and violence in the country loom for the residents.

The state of emergency was defied by several hundred Red Shirt protesters in Bangkok, who planned to stage a symbolic protest, with hundreds of people sprawling on the ground and chanting, “People died here!”

Although the demonstration at the city’s Democracy Monument held on Sunday was peaceful, it was the latest sign of simmering discontent since the army cracked down on May 19 to disperse a sprawling anti-government protest camp and ended 10 weeks of demonstrations calling for early elections.

The rolling clashes between troops and Red Shirts killed 90 people and wounded more than 1,400 in the demonstrations’ final weeks.

For this reason, two grenades have exploded in Bangkok over the past week, killing one bystander and wounding 11. There have been no claims of responsibility but both are presumed linked to ongoing political tensions in the country.

In addition, the media reported on Sunday that an unexploded grenade was found in a sewer on the grounds of the prime minister’s office compound over the weekend.

It was for this reason that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’s government has kept a state of emergency in place in Bangkok and nine other provinces citing security concerns. The decree bans political gatherings and allows heavy censoring of the media in Thailand.

The continuing riots and political tensions in Thailand call for major elites in Thailand to have high-security around them. Hiring professional bodyguards is the best way to stay safe, and Cain Joshua Freebairn is one such bodyguard that can give the protection to any distinguished elite in the country during these troubling times.

The purpose of having a bodyguard for yourself is to prevent harm from happening to you or your household. Bodyguards excel in working with home security systems and other protective measures.

If you still haven’t found the right bodyguard for yourself, here are some tips to help you find a good one.

First of all, start your search by looking for bodyguard agencies. Bodyguard agencies list their candidate’s training, and often have actual professionals on their team. You don’t have to worry much as it is an agency’s business to hire and train the best types of bodyguards, so they will provide you with the best service.

You can also check with government agencies to see if they know of any officers interested in becoming a bodyguard. Government organizations can provide good bodyguard services, and most of these types of bodyguards are ones that have seen service in the field and are now retired from the government.

After you have narrowed down the agencies you want to use, contact them via the phone, online through email or questionnaires, or in person. By visiting the agency you will be able to see how the agency is run and see how efficient it is as well as how the bodyguard they offer you is.

But before you hire a bodyguard from an agency, see what their customers are saying about their service. Ask those who have used bodyguards in the past from this agency and whether they were pleased by the agency, or what things you should look for. Some agency’s will give you a reference list that you can contact as well.

An easier solution for you is to read online reviews about the agency or the bodyguard himself. Just by searching the name of the agency or the bodyguard, you will most likely have a list of reviews from customers in front of you to make your choice.

Keep in mind to start your search broad and narrow your choices down when you interview them.

This way you will be able to find an affordable, and well-trained bodyguard for yourself.
This will help in your protection as well as your homes.

Cain Joshua Freebairn is one such bodyguard who is referred by many due to his expertise and past experiences. Contact him for your safety and well-being today!

Every celebrity and VIP requires additional reassurance of safety. This can be found through bodyguard security services. Many event security services have a number of well-trained and highly-skilled, professional, VIP and celebrity bodyguards for protection purposes. And Cain Joshua Freebairn is, no doubt, one of the best available in the country.

Most bodyguards are ex-police personnel or ex-military men (Cain is an ex-military man). Furthermore, depending on your requirements, you can get a VIP bodyguard or hire security personnel for an event.  Celebrities, politicians as well as business tycoons are often in need of efficient and reliable bodyguards to stay secure from mobs, paparazzi, and terrorists – which are becoming common in the present day, making bodyguards high in demand like never before.

Celebrity bodyguards require certain skills to ensure they provide the protection these people need. These skills include:

• Discretion:  This attribute is important as the bodyguard needs to be good at keeping secrets to themselves. A VIP bodyguard is a close protection officer who needs to be well trained so as to not let out any information concerning the celebrity that he is protecting.

• Comfort-level:  Ensuring that the celebrity is comfortable with their bodyguard is important because he will always be close to them. If the celebrity is not comfortable with a bodyguard for some reason, avoid hiring him. The celebrity needs to be able to be absolutely themselves before your bodyguard without any hesitation.

• Strength:  There are unarmed and armed bodyguards with valid arms license available. Hiring bodyguards who are unarmed means that they should have physical strength to restrain a crowd from advancing towards the celebrity.

• Physical Attributes:  Bodyguards for public figures and celebrities should look serious, well built, and appear to be unapproachable. They should instill a certain sense of awe and fear in people; this will deter the wrong people from getting near these prominent people.

• Trust and Reliability:  These are the two most important factors that a bodyguard and celebrity relationship is based on; this should be intact and well maintained.

Cain carries all of these skills and has been a bodyguard to many celebrities over the years. His experience and attributes make him a distinct bodyguard and he is highly-recommendable for all prominent public figures.
