I thought the contrast of these two pictures was interesting. This man is wearing lots of amulets around his neck... Buddhist charms meant for protection. And then in the second picture it is sad to see him in pain and his own blood covering his chest. 
These last three pictures are actually taken in Ubon, my old hometown. There were also red shirt protests taking place there during May...tires being burned at the airforce base and one of the provincial offices burned down.
