The Network of Students and People for Reform of Thailand has announced it will lead a march of anti-government and anti-Thaksin protesters from Uruphong intersection to an unidentified location Thursday at 10am to continue their protest movement.

Uthai Yodmanee, the network’s leader, announced the plan in a press briefing late Wednesday afternoon.
Commenting on the elected senators who have vowed to reject the bill, Mr Uthai said his group will continue the movement because its purpose is to step up protests to evict the government and wipe out the so-called Thaksin regime.

Earlier, Mr Uthai had hinted that the demonstration could reach government offices and they could go to Government House if they attract a large enough crowd.
Some demonstrators of the network and the Dharma Army have moved to Phan Fa Bridge on Ratchadamnoen Avenue. About 500 members of the Dharma Army reached Phan Fa from Uruphong intersection on Tuesday.
