PROTESTORS GET A HAIR CUT OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT HOUSE IN BANGKOK, 1997-03-10 (photo)

Protestors who call themselves "the Forum of the Poor" get a hair cut outside Government House in Bangkok March 10. The protestors want to exert more pressure on the government, in the hope of bringing about a quick solution to the grievances of protesting farmers and workers. While the Forum of the Poor demonstrators enter their 45th day of protest, the Thai stock market bounded higher today as investors, who were panicked last week by the plight of cash-strapped finance companies and the slowing economy, took solace in new government moves to solve the crisis.
