There was hope that this stand off would soon come to an end but it now seems that the protesters have yet again got one up on the police. Around 2000 Peoples Alliance for Democracy (PAD) forced 150 police officers to retreat 1km away from their barricade.
They are trying to oust Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat,through direct action, they claim that he is a pawn of Thaksin Shinawatra, the Prime Minister ousted by a military coup in 2006.
It seems there is popular support for the government and the protesters so how will this situation end?
