30 DECEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Anti-government protestors reinforce their position at the intersection of Phitsanulok and Ratchadamnoen Roads under a portrait of Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand. Violence around the anti-government protest sites has escalated in recent days and several protestors have been hurt by small explosive devices thrown at their guard posts. As a result, protestors are fortifying their positions with sandbags and bunkers. Suthep Thaugsuban, the leader of the anti-government protests in Bangkok, has called for a new series of massive protests after the 1st of the year and said it the shutdown, or what he described was the seizure of the capital, would be the day when “People’s Revolution” would "begin to end and uproot the Thaksin regime."
