KEY POINTS:
Dozens of anti-Government protesters armed with knives, guns and golf clubs stormed a TV station in Bangkok and briefly forced it off the air yesterday, while thousands more peacefully descended on government ministries, witnesses and local media said.
Members of the People's Alliance for Democracy stormed the government-controlled National Broadcasting Services of Thailand studios in the Thai capital, forcing it to shut down for a few hours before police arrested the 50 to 80 protesters.
The protests are the latest effort by the PAD to force Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej's Government from office.
