<p>On 21 April, pro-government groups, including the Multicoloured Group and Silom Group, which according to the <a href="http://breakingnews.nationchannel.com/read.php?newsid=444253">Nation Channel</a> website, consist of people from Silom, Klongtoey and Thanon Tok, gathered at the Dusit Thani corner of Silom Rd, opposite the red shirts’ entrenchment in front of Lumphini Park, just across Rama IV Rd. The government supporters shouted at the red shirts to go away, and gave support to the military troops deployed there.</p>
<p>On 16 April, Athikhom Sapchang, a taxi driver, made a complaint with the press at the red shirts’ Rajprasong rally site that after he had joined other red shirts in helping red-shirt leaders escape the authorities’ attempted round up at the SC Park Hotel, he left the scene and drove around to look for passengers. When he arrived at Soi Bang Bua in Bang Khen, he found a group of people setting up a checkpoint at the entrance of the Soi.</p>
