I don't see this movement dying down soon. I'm in Khon Kaen, a town in Isan, which is typically Thaksin's power base. But even here, people are marching in the streets and blowing whistles. I spoke to a shopkeeper who was very sympathetic to the anti-government movement. He was telling me how they were doing this so the Government never tries to pull shit like the amnesty bill ever again. And that's why I think it won't die down; they're protesting the Government itself, and not just a specific law or measure from which the Government can back down.
