"May 12 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Women pray in front of the Thai flag at the Red Shirts' main stage Wednesday afternoon. The Thai government said Wednesday that time has run out for ""Red Shirt"" protesters in Ratchaprasong and Sala Daeng intersections in Bangkok and that a crackdown could come at any time. As news of the anticipated crackdown spread, Red Shirt protesters continued with an almost festive mood at their main stage but many of the sleeping areas around the protest site appeared to be empty. No official estimates on crowd size are available.  Photo by Jack Kurtz"
