0 
A horde of red-shirted protesters riding motorcycles on Monday morning are halfway toward the 11th Infantry Regiment where the Peace-keeping Operation Command is located and the Prime Minister is temporarily dwelled, with more red-shirts to follow and rally there.
The motorcade of the red-shirts, led by a pioneer team of about 500 motorcycles, started marching from the main rally site Phan Fa Bridge at downtown Bangkok at about 9:00 a.m. local time and arrive at the military camp at about noon.
The military camp, located at northern Bangkok, is home to the government's Peace-keeping Operation Command that is in charge of the implementation of Internal Security Act (ISA) during and after the red-shirts rally as well as the safe house for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and his deputy Suthep Thaugsuban.
Weng Tochirakarn, a core red-shirts leader, said the supporters of the anti-government movement the United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) will rally at the camp for two or three hours before they return and join their main force at Phan Fa Bridge.
It was reported that reinforcements of troops were made at the military camp early Monday morning.
Three helicopters of the army are on standby inside the camp to transport Abhisit, Suthep and top brass out in case of emergency.
The red-shirts on Sunday noon issued a statement at Phan Fa Bridge, demanding the government dissolve the House of Representatives within 24 hours.
The red-shirts movement is staging a mass rally to topple the Abhisit administration, and tens of thousands of supporters from across the country had swarmed to the capital city since Friday.
