Thailand's Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej remains at his heavily-guarded home as protestors vow to continue defying emergency rule and hold marches demanding he step down.
About 150 riot police surrounded the 73-year-old premier's home as a state of emergency across the capital continued through a fifth day.
Mr Samak declared emergency rule across Bangkok on Tuesday following violent street clashes between his supporters and anti-government protesters.
Emergency rule, which prohibits gatherings of more than five people, continues to be flouted however.
Two university students were shot last night by unidentified gunmen as they marched towards Mr Samak's home, and about 5,000 people remain at the capital's protest camp.
