Anti-government protests that have taken over Bangkok’s chief commercial district have already cost the country an estimated 233 million dollars in forfeited tourism revenues, media reports said Saturday.
Followers of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), also called the red shirts for their trademark protest attire, have been staging rallies in Bangkok since March 12 calling on the prime minister to dissolve parliament and hold new elections.
On April 3 the red shirts occupied Ratchaprasong Road in the heart of the capital’s commercial district, forcing scores of posh shopping centres and five—star hotels to shut over security concerns.
