(Photo by Wichan Charoenkiatpakul)Police fired water cannon at anti-government protesters to prevent them from marching to the Royal Household Bureau at the Grand Palace in Bangkok on Sunday. Four red post boxes were placed on Ratchadamnoen Nai Avenue for protesters to "post" their letters to the King. After the water cannon was used, authorities said they would not fire again as long as protesters stayed away from the barricade. The Erawan Medical Centre of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration reported that one police officer and two protesters were slightly injured when the water cannon was fired. The decision to use water cannon came after police had warned protesters to stay at least 150m away from the building.
