"Welcome! Would you like something to eat?" asked Pongping Kumna, a protester manning the free food stand just past the entrance gate. Tables were piled high with donated food, many ordered from popular Bangkok restaurants.
Recent offerings included sauteed chicken with chili and basil, Thai-style noodles from a famous downtown noodle shop, McDonald's hamburgers and, for dessert, chocolate doughnuts and shaved ice with fruit flavoring.
"We have everything we need here. There's no reason to leave," said Pongping, 44, a clothing shop owner from the southern beach town of Krabi who had camped at the compound for nine days.

they have the king to save them, as PM cannot crush them with force, since he need the king approval, which he will not give.

who will stop pap from crushing protesting sinkies?
the president? the saf scholar generals?
the answer - no one. therefore food will not be a solution in sink city.

because history and politics are different.

anyway what is condition in thailand? is it still ok for tourists visiting bangkok. or it is a no go zone for tourists now?

but does anyone wants to see demonstration and protest here.
it will drive away investors and we have no natural resources to rely on.
those people are just a tool of those politicians.

Learn from the Thais, this is guaranteed to work in Singapore, pao jiak - Free food.

No lah, you have under-estimated the sinkieness of sinkie. You must give free $50 to each sinkie, then they protest. Food is nothing.
