Protesters confronting police
At 2.30 pm, hundreds of protesters are trying to push through police at Makawan Rangsan Bridge in order to join rally organised by the People's Alliance for Democracy.
The crowds throw water bottle at police. Police have not retaliated and use shields to protect themselves.
In another development, the PAD dispatched a truck from Government House to the Royal Plaza to pick up protesters trying to overcome the police barriers.

At 2.45 pm, protesters broke police barriers on two fronts - at the Royal Plaza and at the Makawan Rangsan Bridge.
Police did not use force to block the crowds.

I've just seen something about PAD's appeal in the courts being accepted and the police not having the authority to disperse the demonstrators because of that.
I don't know if this also includes the arrest warrants for the leaders..........hopefully yes, and they can step back from the brink and find a peaceful solution.
Looks like a regime change is becoming more likely, hopefully it's without bloodshed. With Samak's connections with the top brass, surely he knows he doesn't need to win this. He just needs to do a deal behind the scenes to be involved in the next cabinet.
