Opposition activists prepared for talks with Thailand's government on Sunday to seek a way out of an intractable political conflict, but with neither side willing to budge, a resolution seems far from likely.

Thai anti-government protesters write poems and slogans and a banner with the remains of the blood donated by fellow protesters earlier in the week at the site of a mass rally in downtown Bangkok on March 21, 2010. Thailand was mired in political deadlock as demonstrators used their own blood to create a piece of protest art after refusing talks with the government.
