泰国反政府的人民民主联盟（民盟）的数万名支持者24日举行大规模示威活动，包围国会大院，原定于当天举行的上下两院联席会议被迫临时取消。

　　25日，由此引发的动荡进一步加剧，由于大规模抗议活动危及机场安全，泰国机场管理局２５日晚间下令关闭首都曼谷素万那普国际机场，泰国首都曼谷几乎陷入无政府状态。

　　The "City of Angles" on Tuesday was in chaos as anti-government protesters seized the temporary administration seat -- Don Mueang airport, clashed with pro-government taxi drivers, forcing the Cabinet to indefinitely postpone its weekly meeting.

　　The anarchy turned violent when protesters led by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Tuesday evening clashed with a group of pro-government taxi drivers on Vibhavadi Road, leaving at least 11 injured. Two of the taxi drivers suffered gunshot wounds.

　　Initial investigation said one gun that made the shots was from the Government House in central Bangkok, where earlier reports said some weapons were missing since the PAD occupied the Government House from Aug. 26., according to a government spokesman.

　　Police has set up checkpoints around the capital to hunt down the shooter.

　　The Cabinet had to postpone its weekly Tuesday meeting after the PAD declared a seizure of the Don Mueang airport, now only for domestic and military use,

　　Amid the chaos, Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat reaffirmed that he would not resign nor dissolve the House of Representatives in face of the PAD's "undemocratic and unconstitutional" movement in attempt to topple his government, government spokesman Nattawut Saikua said Tuesday.
