18 APRIL 2010 -- BANGKOK, THAILAND: Red Shirt flip flops for sale at the Red Shirt protest site in Ratchaprasong. The Red Shirts protest in the Ratchaprasong Shopping district, home to Bangkok's most upscale malls, is costing the Thai economy millions of Baht per day because the malls and most of the restaurants are closed and tourists are staying away from the area. But that hasn't stopped the Red Shirts who have brought their own economy with them. There are Red Shirt restaurants, food stands, souvenir vendors and more, creating a micro economy for Red Shirts in the area. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
