'Is it OK to shoot foreigners and journalists?'
The sniper and his comrade are like two surgeons operating with great precision. Ahead of the bunker, Rama IV Road, normally a major arterial road, is empty. The soldiers are becoming agitated by the return gunfire and exploding M79s, and send back a rain of bullets at the Red Shirts.
There is a lull in the fire, and in a twist of reality, one of the soldiers yells across the road to an officer in an adjacent bunker: ''Is it OK to shoot foreigners and journalists?''
I am mortified. There is a pause before the answer is screamed back from the adjacent bunker: ''No''.

In a bunker with the Thai Royal Army. The Thai Army is now surgically shooting at red-shirt protesters.They are scoping and delivering fire to red-shirt protesters. The protesters are using a diversity of improvised arms but the bunker I shared with the Thai Royal Army yesterday (Sunday) also took incoming fire from a sniper on a rooftop as well as incoming M79 grenades.
In one chilling dialogue between the soldiers in the bunker (I was in) one soldier yelled across the road asked his comrades (in another bunker) was it okay to shoot farangs and journalists, luckily a sharp reply was returned, 'No'.
The intensity of the street fighting has escalated considerably and the danger yesterday was at times- acute.
