Riot police advance on makeshift barricades set up by pro-democracy protesters in front of the 1st Infantry Division base, where PM Prayut Chan-o-cha's residence is located. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ28กุมภา
Police, soldiers, or agent provocateurs? Scores of unidentified men in plain cloth and helmets are seen milling about behind the riot police's line. They refuse to tell us who they are, and police made no attempt to interfere with their activities. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ28กุมภา
Police unleashed water cannon and tear gas on the demonstrators earlier in front of the infantry bae. Two people were reportedly injured #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ28กุมภา

SHOTS FIRED: Three loud bangs resembling gunshots were heard close to the protest site in front of Siam Commercial Bank headquarters just as demonstrators were leaving. A firecracker was also reportedly thrown at them. Reports say at least 1 injured. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand
Traces of what appeared to be handgun bullets were also found at the protest site, suggesting that they were indeed gunshots. Forensic police are at the scene to investigate. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
UPDATE: Reports say the man who fired shots at pro-democracy protesters was arrested at the scene, and police have found the firearm used in the shooting. No other details of the perpetrator so far. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand

Inflatable duck boats, which have become a sort of a comedy icon of the pro-democracy movement, have arrived in front of the Siam Commercial Bank headquarters in northern Bangkok for today's protest. #Thailand #KE #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
Move over, crytocurrency! The activists hand out parody banknotes (ie coupons) with the portrait of the yellow duck. Each of them is worth 10 baht and can be used to buy food from participating hawkers, or "CIA," around the protest site. #Thailand #KE #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
Fun Fact! The duck is formally given a title as กรมหลวงเกียกกายราษฎรบริรักษ์ by the protesters, which translates roughly to Lord Prince Protector of the People of Kiakkai. #Thailand #KE #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB

WTF Thailand: Traffic chaos broke out in downtown Bangkok after commuters woke up to find cops blocking some roads with containers to deter a march to the Crown Property Bureau -- even though the protest was already moved to another location. #Thailand #รถติด #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
Police made no announcement about the barricades, which literally appeared overnight, adding more woes to rush hour traffic in Bangkok this morning. Today's demonstration is set to take place at Siam Commerical Bank HQ, nearly 15 km away. #Thailand #รถติด #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
Meanwhile, ultraroyalists were free to gather in front of the parliament building without attempts by the police to disperse them. A parliament official even met with the pro-monarchy protesters and accepted their petition. #Thailand #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeningInThailand

Protesters have begun their march to the Royal Thai Police headquarters down the road from Ratchaprasong Intersection. Many of them are furious at police's use of teargas and water cannons in yesterday's rally. #18พฤศจิกาไปราษฎร์ประสงค์ #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
At least 2,000 police officers are waiting for the marchers inside the police HQ, backed by crowd control vehicles like water cannons and long-range acoustic device (LRAD). #18พฤศจิกาไปราษฎร์ประสงค์ #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
How you like that!? Protesters pump water guns at police in a lighthearted retaliation for using water cannons on demonstrators yesterday. #18พฤศจิกาไปราษฎร์ประสงค์ #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #WhatsHappeninglnThailand

Right on time! A police officer arrived at Ratchaprasong Intersection to tell demonstrators to disperse and vacate the area. The protesters replied by standing their ground and flashing the three-finger salute. #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
Ratchaprasong Intersection is now full of protesters. Fun fact: the intersection's Thai name means "Royal Wishes." Activists say they will change it to Ratsaprasong today, meaning "People's Wishes" #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
It's been less than 30 minutes since the official time of the protest, but there's already a large crowd at Ratchaprasong Intersection.

Many journalists are overheard saying "it's gonna be a long day." #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
