Months after a deadly government crackdown on Thai protesters, the "Red Shirts" are regrouping and re-organizing. This weekend, they held a rally in Pattaya that drew 4000 people and featured a telephone call from their leader, ousted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Whether this means the Red Shirts will escalate their demands again or whether this is a limited display remains to be seen. One thing's for sure -- efforts at healing and reconciliation in Thailand will remain slow and measured.
