My Thai contacts in BKK are confident that the demos are running out of steam (and probably money.) The governments "no force" policy may seem to be allowing the demos to drag on, but they are handling the situation subtley and by ignoring the red shirts (except when they aggressively invade parliament etc) they they are making the demos look irrelevant and ineffective. Boredom, heat, Songkran and dwindling money should see the current campaign fade away. Anyway in Pattaya , no one wears shirts on the beach
