The United Front for Democracy (UDD and movement behind the Red Shirts) has resolved to accept the Prime Ministers road map for reconciliation.  They have put a condition on closing down the protest sites and that is that the Prime Minister set a date for the dissolution of parliament in the lead up to the November 14th election.  The Red Shirts have said that once a clear time frame has been set they will clear the protest site.  Numbers at the site have dwindled significantly with only a few thousand remaining.  Day to day life in Bangkok continues on...today is actually another public holiday...yeah we get a few...so the streets are quiet with Bangkokians taking the opportunity to spend time with their families...for us in the Intrepid office, our trips are running so the office is open and we're working.
