Police closed roads to traffic near the Government House in Bangkok this morning (Monday), in anticipation of the arrival of protesters from Songkhla province’s Chana district.

 

Police were seen manning barricades on Phitsanulok Road,from Panichakarn intersection to Suan Misakawan junction. Anti-riot police are also on standby.

 

The protesters, who are objecting to the industrial estate mega project in Chana district, plan to march from their camp at the United Nations building on Ratchadamnoen Nai Road to Government House today, to demand an response from the government to their demands, which include the temporary suspension of the project until a strategic environmental impacts assessment is carried out on the project.

I don't blame them, fobbed off with a MOU that wasn't worth the paper it was written on.
