Buddhist monks pray during the funeral of Thai Major General Khattiya Sawasdipol at a temple in Bangkok June 22, 2010. The body of renegade Thai soldier Khattiya will be cremated on Tuesday with security forces deploying up to 1,000 policemen at the temple to prevent any potential unrest during the funeral rite. Khattiya or "Seh Daeng" (Commander Red) was shot while being interviewed by Thai and foreign reporters on May 13, 2010 near the medieval-like barricades built of tires and bamboo staves he designed in a high-end shopping district that protesters occupied for five weeks before an army crackdown on May 19, 2010.
