Apparently they are tired of the globalization/free trade policies of multi-national corporatism as this excerpt from the MSNBC stroy points out:

Thaksin’s critics want to jettison his policies promoting privatization, free trade agreements and CEO-style administration.

So the Thais want to keep Thailand Thai.

And explosion of corruption under that now fired premier had been pointed out in German TV.

Gen. Sondhi Boonyaratkalin, who is known to be close to Thailand's revered monarch and is a Muslim in this Buddhist-dominated nation, took power.
So much for the un-armed citizens. Accept Islam or die.

An army general, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said Chitchai and Defense Minister Thammarak Isaragura na Ayuthaya — two Thaksin loyalists — had been arrested.
"The government is no longer administering the country," Akara said.
Freely elected? So much for the un-armed citizens.
