| Image © Jack Kurtz || 01 DECEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thai anti-government protestors give the middle finger to Thai riot police in Bangkok. Thousands of anti-government Thais confronted riot police at Phanitchayakan Intersection, where Rama V and Phitsanoluk Roads intersect, next to Government House (the office of the Prime Minister). Protestors threw rocks, cherry bombs, small explosives and Molotov cocktails at police who responded with waves of tear gas and chemical dispersal weapons. At least four people were killed at a university in suburban Bangkok when gangs of pro-government and anti-government demonstrators clashed. This is the most serious political violence in Thailand since 2010. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Thai politics have turned testy again. Groups opposed to the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra have taken to the streets demanding her resignation and her family (her brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, was deposed by a coup in 2006 but he is still influential in politics) get out of Thai politics.
Sunday and Monday protestors laid siege to government offices. They attacked police lines and police threw tear gas, used water cannons (laced with chemical agents) and fired rubber bullets.
Tuesday police left their lines and let protestors into the disputed government district.
The protests will resume later in the week.
There are lots more photo in my PhotoShelter archive.

I've relocated to Bangkok, Thailand. I'm working on stories and freelancing. If you need a photographer in Thailand, give me a shout.
Thanks for looking,
