A woman prays in front of Buddhist monks collecting alms in Sam Phrao, a village designated as a “Red Shirt Village of Democracy”, near Udon Thani in northeastern Thailand, June 27, 2011. The red shirts, supporters of ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra, have been branding hundreds of villages as red to rally behind Thaksin's sister, Yingluck, who is leading the opposition ahead of the July 3 general elections.
