The fallout from Bangkok’s crisis

Thousands of supporters of Yingluck Shinawatra are massing in a Bangkok suburb, ready to march to defend the embattled prime minister.

The next few days could see tension in the Thai capital surge once again following an interlude of relative calm. The last wave of street protests almost shut down Bangkok early this year as anti-Shinawatra rallyists tried to block the holding of parliamentary elections. This time it’s the Red Shirts, as her followers are known, who are threatening to take to the streets.
