Bangkok braces for unrest after peace plan rejected

Sunday the Thai government rejected an offered peace overture brought forth by the anti-government protesters. These anti-government supporters "feared an imminent crackdown," and they had threated to bring more violence after the offer to rescind the protests. Unfortunately, this turmoil in the land not only brings violence, but it also negatively affects the economy. Tourism to the Southeast Asia area has declined and retailers have closed their doors. The 'Red Shirts' in this area, contain great power in numbers, and it has caused law officials and police forces to retreat. In all this problem is said not be solved in the 30 days demanded by the protesters, and the offer of peace clearly had other motives in mind.
