Both pro and anti-government demonstrators are now staging sit ins in the capital Bangkok.
 
The pro government supporters want order restored to their country insisting the present political crisis has only damaged the country’s reputation even further.
 
They are calling on the police and military to take action against anti government demonstrators, pressently blockading the two airports. 
 
So far those protestors have managed to keep riot police at bay. The police chief has been fired for  
refusing to move on the protestors, who are largely the middleaged and the old, plus children as well. 
 
After days of inactivity protestors have allowed 88 planes to depart without passengers. They have been allowed to go to other airports to start evacuating foreign nationals.  
 
Outside government house there has been a grenade attack against anti-government  protestors which injured more than 50 people
