BANGKOK, THAILAND - FEBRUARY 4:  One person swims in a pool at a five star hotel near a major protest site February 4, 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. Business has reportedly suffered and hotels are dealing with major losses as the political turmoil continues without any end in sight. The recent controversial elections exposed an increasingly bitter divide in the country. After disrupting the general election, anti-government demonstrators are continuing their campaign to oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and the three week old "Bangkok Shutdown," has blocked major intersections. The Thai government imposed a 60-day state of emergency in Bangkok and the surrounding provinces in an attempt to cope with the on-going political turmoil however this decree has had no effect on the mass protests.
