The Red Shirts took their protests to the Royal Thai Army's 11th Infantry Regiment base in Bangkok Sunday. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has been staying at the base since the protests started because that's where the security services command post is. It's also reasonably secure, so the PM feels safer there.

There were not as many people at the protest today as there were yesterday, although the numbers may have been diluted because the base is several miles from the main protest site in old Bangkok.

It appears as though the PM has blinked in the war of nerves between the government and the Red Shirts. Speakers announced while I was there that Abhisit and the Red Shirt leaders will meet in face to face negotiations starting later today.

There are more photos in my archive. Do a search on UDD or Red Shirts.
