Yingluck's office told reporters she was not in Bangkok and said Yingluck was "undertaking official duties" 150km away.

Pretty looks isn't going to calm down the protesters. It looks like she has to step down. If I were in her shoes, just transfer her wealth out of the country and leave while she still can.
Cheers!
