One of the protest leaders at Government House in the western part of the capital, Taworn Senniem, declared victory and thanked police for ending their defence of the seat of the administration, as well as the Metropolitan Police Bureau. Thousands marched into the compounds, shaking hands with riot policemen and having photos taken of themselves and with their former adversaries.
