Anti-government protesters in Thailand are planning to focus on the ruling party’s headquarter, as massive street protests enter their sixth day.  The protesters have been surrounding and occupying official buildings, trying to shut down the government.

“We are deploying two companies of police [around 300 officers] at Pheu Thai party headquarters after they asked for protection,” said deputy national police chief Worapong Siewpreecha of the tightened security around the Pheu Thai party headquarters.

The protesters claim that the government is still controlled by exiled former leader Thaksin Shinawatra.  He is the brother of Thailand’s current Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who already survived a no confidence vote in parliament.

Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban, a former opposition politician, has rejected the government's offer of talks and vowed to force the government to step down.  Although the protesters’ numbers declined sharply since last Sunday, some expect more to rejoin over the weekend.
