With all the violence and protests it had to scare away tourists from places like Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy. I'll bet the girls are so desperate they have slashed prices. It probably has turned into a "Hot Tub Time Machine" and the girls are acting like it's 1967-72 when the soldiers from Vietnam came there for R&R. See if you can screw the "Farang" now when your nightclubs are empty. Now they will be begging for money to send home to the village to take care of their brothers and sisters.
"Amid the violence, the rest of the capital has remained largely normal with shops, restaurants and cinemas open and busy, albeit with customers and workers expressing concern about the clashes. Rural Thailand also has not seen violence, though demonstrations and other activity has occurred in the rural home provinces of many people in the Red Shirt movement."

So, in a nutshell, the guy who's in office right now (Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva) got into office Illegally (feel the red shirts) and they are trying to oust him. they want a new election? The press is doing a terrible job of explaining the political situation of what's realy going on over there. I f you were just an ignorant fool you would think the Red Shirts are the enemy; to me, that's the way the press is portraying them?
Also, you know they are (snipers) killing people in cold blood to make them retreet, but that won't work at all. I feel this will only get worse, people there are very willing to die for what they believe in. This will spread into other parts of the country eventualy and ultimatly start a Civil War.

From what I read, they agreed on a new election, but that was it, and the red shirts kept coming with new stuff to the table? Then the Governement said enough is enough and sent in the troops? Why wouldn't they just give in? they got the Governemnt to do a new election in November? They won? Why would you be so stupid as to keep demanding other stuff? Just take the new election and get who you want into office and problems solved..
