After a day of chaos and violence, Bangkok is currently in a tense stand off.
Thousands of Red Shirt protesters are in control of a large geographic area around Government House.
They have armed themselves and have erected a number of roadblocks around the city.
In response to this challenge, the government has declared a state of emergency and it is reported that 56 companies of soldiers are preparing to confront them.
It is hard to imagine this scenario playing itself out without bloodshed.
The photos here were taken this Sunday evening (April 12th) between 9 and 11 PM around the Government House neighborhood.
