Rice Queen Diary had a post today he called "Community Therapy" showing the positive community spirit of many in Bangkok. He'd heard estimates of 6,000 or so who came to clean streets, scrub off graffiti and remove trash and rubble.

After a week of horrible images, these are a refreshing change. Just thought I'd pass it along, in case you don't check his blog regularly. http://www.ricequeendiary.com/community-therapy.html

Richard Barrow was there and reported on it as well: www.twitter.com/richardbarrow (http://www.twitter.com/richardbarrow)

Looks like it was a huge amount of work.

Talented Thai photographer, Natthawat took some great photos of the clean up: http://www.photoshelter.com/c/netphoto/ ... 6JN7ac8Nbs (http://www.photoshelter.com/c/netphoto/gallery/Red-Shirts-Thailand/G0000M6JN7ac8Nbs)

One very cute soldier! Seriously, how cute is he?

Agreed, Natthawat Wongrat's photos are superb - thanks for the link. So encouraging to see a positive force pulling together to begin some healing. Obviously it's not over and done with, but I'm glad the violence has abated... at least for this round. Let's hope whatever happens next is less deadly.
