Protestors dressed as ancient Thai warriors gather Thursday, March 9, 2006, outside the Singaporean Embassy in downtown Bangkok, Thailand. More than 500 protesters marched to the Singaporean Embassy, threatening to boycott products from the island republic if the Singapore government fails to halt the sale. Opposition groups are demanding that Singapore revoke the sale by Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's family of a giant telecom company to one of its state-owned enterprises.
