With the decision by politician-turned-protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban to seize command of several government offices on Monday, the political mercury has risen again.
Like many people, I have been monitoring political developments closely as tensions between the two rival parties have intensified day by day. I have no idea what might happen next.
The Sunday protest on Ratchadamnoen was phenomenal.
Public anger was initially sparked when the House passed the controversial amnesty bill on Nov 1. Symbolic whistle blowing at protests followed, and sentiment has snowballed into a move to oust the Yingluck government from power. The protesters are also frustrated with the influence of fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who they believe wields control over the government of his youngest sister.
From their stronghold on Ratchadamnoen Avenue, the protesters are defiantly challenging the government and mainstream media which they allege has sided with those in power.
Starting with a "visit" to free TV stations, the protesters later escalated their protest by storming government offices including the Finance Ministry and other major ministries, in what they call a "civil disobedience" move. They ignored the strict measures implemented by the government, which has extended the Internal Security Act to more areas in a bid to disperse them. They continue to fight back undaunted.
But like it or not, they have to admit their strategy has been costly as many have distanced themselves from them for fear of violence.
Moreover, I am sure many of us still have no idea what "a people's government", proposed by Mr Suthep, actually is. The idea is new while his political road map is unclear.
On the other hand, the government does not seem to be repenting. It still enjoys solid support from the red shirts who are staging another rally at Rajamangala Stadium in Hua Mak.
The move by Pheu Thai lawmakers to amend the constitution and make the Senate fully elected was countered by the Constitution Court.
The no-confidence motion in the House that was due to end last night has been tedious, with several politicians acting as if it were all a game.
Several politicians were only there to disrupt the process. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, as usual, failed to clearly answer many questions and just concentrated on her scripts.
In all, Ms Yingluck and her Pheu Thai Party members are hardly shaken.
While Bangkok is at the centre of this tense political game, in which the two rivals are refusing to step back, several important issues have been forgotten. For example, the floods in the South.
No one, especially those in the government, seems to care about the plight the southern people have had to endure.
The ongoing strife reflects clearly that the political divisions created by the 2006 coup against Thaksin remain wide. And those divisions appear in every social unit. In the workplace, friends and colleagues may have different political views and, in many cases, they end up on different sides of the political spectrum.
While some people may ask if there is light at the end of tunnel, I am still holding on to the hope that things can improve if each side thinks of the nation and its people, maintains good intentions and moves toward change.
However, during this time of political crisis, I think we can see and learn many things, particularly from our political differences, by adapting ourselves to the situation and accepting it with open-mindedness.
We may already have decided which side we support, while some try to remain neutral. That's alright. We can be different, respect each other and co-exist peacefully. Just be aware of the lines between yourself and others.
What is going on is proof that Thailand has to find ways to live with political divisions which are set to stay with us for a long time to come.
What we can do now is hope for a better Thailand. I will pray for you, Thailand.
