The....."No More Checkpoints" order from the new police chief didn't last long.

[Mavideol]

they said Not concerned and yet control/checkpoints all over....

 

the fatty watch man said "" Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters that he did not expect huge turnout.

“We’re prepared and not worried,” he said. “I think we can handle it.”

BANGKOK (Reuters) - The Thai government said on Monday it was not concerned about a student-led demonstration on Wednesday as protest leaders sought to escalate their push to demand a new constitution and oust Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha.

Passed the one in Latkrabang road today. They are all sitting in the tent playing with their phones.

[from the home of CC]

one person they'll never discover on the roads is the billionaire, after he gets all those kids worked up he'll probably get on his jet to Dubai to join the other loser..

Looks like the plastic police have started arresting people on trumped up charges, ie: A certain persons motorcade was due to pass victory monument, response was to arrest them.

Sweet of them to post up all the roads for any troublemakers to avoid... 

 

Dollars to donuts someone has already put them into Google Maps and it's gone viral.

 

(For any youngsters tuned in, donuts used to cost a lot less than a dollar)

Well if you stop every protester from entering Bangkok, you sure will have a low turn out.

He was right, if you block everyone from entering, then there isn't anything to handle

but good luck to them anyway.

I think the end of check points was only in BKK to prevent tailbacks.
