Matt,Jorgen: Thank you. It's one that I missed at first pass through the shots. This forum is also helping me to improve my PP skills.
Very interesting about the feet. I now remember reading about the pointing of the feet. Using the paddles as a deliberate affront to authority is clever. I've also read that the reds may have more support in the city then people think (Economist again).
Cheers, Matt

They did have some support when they started the demonstrations, but as it has become clear that some of their leaders are regular thugs, and due to the fact that they are creating increasing problems for Bangkokians and tourists, that sympathy is quickly evaporating. It's a movement with some valid points, but under a somewhat dubious leadership.
Some of the top luxury hotels in Bangkok are selling their rooms for less than $100 per night now, and still they struggle to attract tourists. Some of those in the affected areas of Bangkok have even had to close down temporarily. For a country that attracts more than 15 million tourists per year, this is very bad news.
