In this photo taken August 2, 2014, the Chinatown Gate, a key land mark that was built in 2002 to commemorate the 72nd birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyedej, stands at the main entrance to Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand. Century-old shop houses, twisting alleyways and temples scented with incense in Bangkokâs Chinatown still pulsate with the pursuit of old trades and time-honored rituals of families who have lived there for generations. But probably not for much longer. (AP Photo/Apichart Weerawong)

In this photo taken June 13, 2014, Chalad Worachat lies on the ground during a hunger strike outside the Parliament in Bangkok, Thailand. Over the past decades, Chalad has resisted military regimes and dictatorial legislation by staging hunger strikes, five of them. Now the 71-year-old onetime parliamentarian is back on water and honey, despondent that after so many years and so much bloodshed, Thailand has been unable to break out of a vicious cycle of military coups to achieve true democracy.

Advance for Thailand Challenging Chinese, in this photo taken March 30, 2014, Chinese tourists pose for photograph at the main entrance to Chiang Mai university in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand. The bucolic, once laidback, campus of one of Thailandâs top universities seems to be under a security clampdown these days. Not against a terrorist threat, but Chinese tourists, thousands of them, who have clambered aboard student buses, eaten in cafeterias, sneaked into classes to attend lectures and even pitched a tent by a picturesque lake.
