By The Nation
Decision made to bolster force and for safety measures. Relocation expected to be completed Thursday.

The red-shirt protesters have decided to abandon the Phan Fa rally ground to join their fellow demonstrators at the Rajprasong Intersection.
The decision to leave Phan Fa was announced by Natthawut Saikua at 10:30 am Wednesday.
He said red-shirts leaders at Rajprasong and Phan Fa reached a decision to abandon the Phan Fa site to so that the red-shirt force could be bolstered and have more efficiency.

"So, we will move our force from Phan Fa to Rajprasong, making it one big army to fight against the Abhisit government to the full extent," Natthawut said.
He said the red-shirt army at the Rajprasong will step up attacks against the government after the Songkran holidays.
He said the decision was made to avoid more clashes between troops and protesters.
"Since the government wants to reclaim the Phan Fa area, we will comply with its wish. Moreover, the government does not want to reclaim the Rajprasong area," Natthawut said.
He said the leaders assigned Jatuporn Promphan, another red-shirt leader, to explain the decision to protesters at the Phan Fa area.
The relocation would begin Wednesday evening and would be completed Thursday.
He said the protesters would not stage a march to the 11th Infantry Regiment because the red-shirt leaders learnt that the government was preparing to send troops to arrest the protesters during the march.
