Sore losers. Hopefully the numbers will be way down and they can go back home and leave the rest of the productive members of Thai society alone.

wasabi well the numbers weren't down - in fact quite impressive considering a small stage and hastily organised. So what does that say?

The numbers weren't down relative to what? Your previously reported claim of 300,000 protesters at the big rally on Bangkok on 08 April?

The Los Angeles Times just recently reported yesterday's numbers AND the numbers from the "big rally on April 8th as:

The protest at Sanam Luang, a field near Bangkok's Grand Palace, drew about 5,000 people, as predicted by organizers but far short of the estimated 100,000 who turned out for a rally April 8.

Well I suppose 5,000 isn't that much less than 100,000...
