Red-shirts drawing together in final battleground
Thursday 15th April, 2010
Thai protesters have once again gathered in Bangkok near a shopping district to make what they have called a final battleground.
The red-shirt demonstrators have been engaged in a struggle with the current government, which they have demanded should step down to allow for a new election.
The protesters have been gathering in the upmarket Langsuan district of Bangkok where they have said they will dig in.
Protesters have been gathering in their thousands, carrying umbrellas and other coverings to protect themselves from the scorching April sun.
They are in an area which is home to the Grand Hyatt, Four Seasons, and other luxury hotels and expensive serviced apartments.
The hotels have become virtually deserted since fighting developed between the protesters and police a couple of weeks ago.
Last weekend's deadly riots finally chased away many remaining guests.
Meanwhile, political analysts have said the red-shirts may not have to stay in the streets for much longer as Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's days could be shortened by a military coup.
