A lot of these young protesters are from well known schools, they're middle class with parents working as professionals. Not so easy for the army to lock them up or hit them with serious charges, Prayud would be facing a lot of angry parents who are doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc 

Yes his control is crumbling rapidly. And his ministers left him. A broken down government

I am not convinced your assumption is correct.  The government is still functioning in the fashion of all governments.  Unfortunately at this time of the Wuhan China virus some inadequacies have become apparent.  But the baseline needs of the people have been met.  Security by police,  medical attention in public hospitals and food supply almost normal.   And the not normal seems to be food stuffs for farang,  not Thai.  I will concede the fact the government is probably not the best government Thai's could have and the way they engineered the constitution is highly questionable but for now there is no-one to replace them...for now.

 

 

I don't be leave the PM is being sincere yesterday protest leaders were summoned by police for violating the Emergency Decree.
Will arrange the talks from within a prison cell?

Don't forget the 8 to perhaps as many as 20 million jobless people as a bad side effect by the PM and this government.

This is how many of those activist leaders will end up in jail. The last two coups have made many things very clear.
