Safety equipment in response to an emergency will be prepared and the Marine Department set up the command center at the department’s CCTV control room.

Shouldn't people be discouraged from going? After all, it seems like this will encourage large crowds and there is an emergency decree related to Covid19 in affect at the moment.

 

Can we expect to see barbed wire set up along the river?

good work ...  maintain security and be aware if there is any trouble. 

A post using a trolling animated meme has been removed. 

Well well we’ll. Is there something underhanded by the regime being planned in order to blame it on the good students and new generation of non violent thai? 

Battle of the Kratongs, eh? So that's what the submarines are for. Will be mayhem, larger than Battle of Midway, I tell ya!

get the army in, single tracked mind of oppression 

 

I thought LK was about coming together and a happy time of love, evidently not 

 

but no, the military unelected have decided that it is some sort of security issue 

 

if there was ever an illustration of a seriously defective mindset from people who rule by intimidation and the gun, this is it, shameful horrible power mongering corruption 

 

is there an education involved in any of the unelected running this country

 

 

 

Nope

You should move to China, Steven. They’re so caring of people’s safety that they’ll weld you shut inside your apartment.

So understanding that rain diminishes the affects of PM2.5 does that mean Pryut ordered the use of water canons for the protection of his little children while out on the streets protesting his leadership?

Just to keep their respiratory systems fine.
