Powerful forces revealed behind Thai protest movement
BANGKOK (Reuters) - His whistle-tooting crowds of supporters are dwindling. His threats against Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra veer from the bold to the bizarre.

The forces behind Suthep are led by former defense minister General Prawit Wongsuwa
