Anti-establishment demonstrators celebrated Songkran on Bangkok’s Ratchadamnoen Avenue this afternoon (Wednesday) with a political message. They poured water on the Democracy Monument, drenched each other with buckets of water and played with water guns, all in defiance of the Government’s anti-COVID no water splashing restriction.

 

Perhaps ironically, two high-powered water cannon were deployed, by the police, on Ratchadamnoen Nok Road.

Piyarat Chongthep, leader of the “We Volunteer” group, said that they planned to pour water on the Democracy Monument, because they have faith in democracy and because there is nobody in government that they trust or who are worthy of their respect.
