16 MAY 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thai anti-government leader SUTHEP THAUGSUBAN (center blue shirt) and his supporters walk to the parliament building in Bangkok. Thousands of protestors from the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) surrounded the Thai Parliament complex Saturday to pressure the Thai Senate to select an interim Prime Minister to replace ousted former PM Yingluck Shinawatra. The Senate decided not to appoint an interim PM of their own and announced a meeting with the current interim Prime Minister. The protestors left the parliament complex and threatened to return in larger numbers if the Senate doesn't act. The Senate appointment of an acting PM could plunge Thailand into chaos since there is already an interim Prime Minister from the ruling Pheu Thai party. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
