Tensions were high when more than 2,000 red shirts on Wednesday confronted riot police who were lined up on Soi Sukhumvit 31 trying to block the protesters from going too close to the home of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
The red shirts push through the first blockade where police lined up at the intersection of Soi Sukhumvit 31 but the protesters were met with another blockade - four trucks to keep detainees are parked across the soi about 100 metres from Abhisit's house to prevent the red shirts from getting close to his residence.
A small turmoil took place when ten strongmen of the red shirts tried to climb over the four trucks to the other side but the red-shirt leaders shouted at them to come back to their side.
Chatuporn Prompan, a red-shirt leader negotiated with Region One Police Commander Pol Maj Gen Wichai Sangprapai to give the procession access to get close to the fence of the PM's house.
Police agreed to let the red shirts come closer at 50 metres from Abhisit's home.
The red shirts then held a rite before pouring ten gallons of blood on the area while some threw bags filled with blood into Abhisit's house.
Police quickly sprayed and cleaned up the blood in the compound of the house.
The red shirts left Soi 31 to go to the United State Embassy in Bangkok to seek explanation about a tip-off from the US that ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra could be plotting a sabotage in Thailand as revealed by Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban.
The red shirts had earlier got a boost of spirit when their procession marching close to Asoke on Sukhumvit Road leading towards Abhisit's house as onlookers on both sides clapped their hands in a sign of encouragement.
