Supporters of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) of Pathum Thani threatened to seize government offices in the province if the government does not stop the army's operations that lead to the loss of protesters' lives, Sornrak Pakjai, a red-shirt leader of Pathum Thani, said on Saturday evening.

The supporters would also block traffic in the province if the government still orders troops to shoot at innocent people, he said.

Mr Sornrak also said that residents of Pathum Thani would obstruct troops if they try to enter the province.

At the same time, the red shirts blocked expressway exit at Bangkok's Bon Kai. Bon Kai area has been declared live-firing zone on Saturday evening, according to reports.

Troops and red-shirt protesters have clashed in the area since Friday.

At about 7.30pm, hundreds of protesters gathered around the exit of the Rama IV expressway in Bon Kai area. They reportedly burnt tyres to block vehicles from coming down the expressway.

The action came after they received reports that troops would try to bring in reinforcement to the area by using the expressway.
