Then as darkness fell thai time, the army began to clear by force one of the red shirt encampments. Unfortunately the red shirts were in no mood to give ground. In the ensuing battle two soldiers, eight red shirts and a Japanese journalist have been killed and over 500 injured.
The army have since retreated and we can only wait to see what tomorrow brings.
Also the dispute as interacted with the foreign tourist community, Khao San Road which is a famous back packer haunt was one of the sites of violence. Reports are in of a Japanese tourist wearing a red shirt being attacked by soldiers. I hope this is the last of the violence for Thailands sake.
