03 FEBRUARY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A fish monger sets up her sun dried fish for sale on a sidewalk on Chareon Krung Road in the Chinatown section of Bangkok. After months of relative calm following the May 2014 coup, tensions are increasing in Bangkok. The military backed junta has threatened to crack down on anyone who opposes the government. Relations with the United States have deteriorated after Daniel Russel, the US Assistant Secretary of State for Asian and Pacific Affairs, said that normalization of relations between Thailand and the US would depend on the restoration of a credible democratically elected government in Thailand.
