Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has instructed provincial governors to rustle up support for a referendum on the government's proposed charter amendments, a source said.

Ms Yingluck arrived yesterday in Chiang Mai to attend a meeting of provincial governors nationwide.

The source said the prime minister told the governors to provide information about the referendum to people in their provinces.

D1 Nui, "Thaksin thinks ,Yingluk does". He is betting the farm on this one, if it fails he is doomed to spend his days in Dubai.

BTW I note they will gather again at Khao Yai in January.

It seems last weeks Khao Yai jamboree was a fizzer. Apart from the news they needed 700 police to keep the reds in line - no one seems to have cared. Is their 15 minutes nearly up, have the reds peaked, is sanity slowly returning to Thailand ?

Provincial governors and Prime Minister must be neutral. It is the job of the parliament not the cabinet. Spending millions from tax payers money for a "Yes" vote is wrong.
