The Thai capital appeared calm under gloomy sky Wednesday morning following Tuesday's clashes between anti-government protesters and police in the city center, while the injury toll from the riots have risen to 437.
The Narenthorn Emergency Centre under Thailand's Public Health Ministry reported on Wednesday that among the 437 injured, 73 of them remain in hospitals and the rest were discharged after receiving treatments.
By far, two persons died amid the chaos on Tuesday, in which police fired tear gas a few times since early morning into the crowds of protesters led by civilian anti-government coalition People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) in an attempt to disperse them, while the other side returned attacks at the police with home-made weapons, at protest and clash scenes-- mainly around the Parliament, the Government House and the Bangkok Metropolitan Police Bureau.
According to earlier reports, among the injured were many PAD supporters, some journalists and policemen.
On early Wednesday morning, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration have deployed more than 200 staff to clean up the streets around the protest and clash sites, where chaos on Tuesday left much garbage and exhausted groups of PAD supporters, with most having retreated to the main rally site inside the Government House compound.
