Situation in the capital is still tense after tear gas fired at protesters
Police fired tear gas at several sites at protesters trying to force their way into the Government House and Royal Thai Police headquarters on Sunday.
The protesters also besieged at least three television stations demanding they broadcast the protesters' views. The stations' executives organised a meeting with representatives of the protesters and they agree to meet their demands.
The protesters were seen trying to rip down concrete barriers outside the Government House but were pushed back by police who fired tear gas and water cannons.
The protesters who besieged in front of the police headquarters on Pathumwan road shouted and demanded that police stopped serving Yingluck government and Thaksin Shinawatra.
The government deployed more than 21,000 police and about 1,000 soldiers to protect 10 government installations from being occupied by demonstrators.
Pol Lt Col Kissana Phatsanacharoen, spokesman for the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order said, "We decided to deploy troops from the military to ensure the safety of key places including the airports, but they are without arms and have been instructed not to use force."
Meanwhile Deputy Prime Minister Phongthep Thepkanjana said, "We understand that the protest leaders are trying hard to force the government to use violence in order to increase their support fortheir own benefit."
