It was a subdued start to the day in Bangkok, as demonstrators ate breakfast and drank tea.<br/> <br />Hundreds had stayed overnight here in ministries and government offices.<br/> <br />They stormed the buildings on Wednesday hoping to shut them down and paralyse the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.<br/> <br />But still anti-government protesters plan to keep the pressure on by marching to police headquarters and the defence ministry later in the day..<br/> <br />There have been huge protests in Bangkok for weeks.<br/> <br />The protesters, who are led by a former opposition party politician, say Yingluck's government is controlled by her brother - the ousted former leader Thaksin Shinawatra.<br/> <br />But despite the biggest protests since the violence in 2010, Yingluck easily survived a no-confidence vote in parliament.<br/> <br />The motion was brought by the opposition Democrat Party, but Yingluck's Pheu Thai party dominate the chamber and voted it down.
