The "Yellow Shirt Movement" refers to a political protest group in Thailand that emerged in the mid-2000s. The movement is known for its supporters wearing yellow shirts, symbolizing loyalty to the Thai monarchy. It primarily opposes the government of Thaksin Shinawatra, a former prime minister, whom they accuse of corruption and undermining the monarchy. The movement gained significant attention during the 2006 political crisis, leading to mass protests and the eventual military coup that ousted Thaksin. The Yellow Shirts are associated with the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), which seeks to promote royalist and nationalist sentiments in Thai politics.
