The government is ready to help red-shirt protesters in Bangkok return home if they do not have their own transport, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Tuesday.

"Demonstrators who want to return home but cannot find buses to transport them can ask government officials for assistance," Mr Abhisit said after chairing the meeting with the government's peacekeeping operations centre.

He said the government will not underestimate the situation and will continue keeping a close eye on the red-shirt rally, regardless of the number of protesters, to prevent any violence occurring.
