Have not seen anything on "official news" I guess not surprising

Just got a message from a friend that there are some riots happening.

From videos, this should be junction at Din Daeng, the end of it, where Vibhavadi Rangsit ends and you can turn either left to Din Daeng on Rama 9 or towards Victory Monument and Ratchaprarop road to the right, with expressway overhead.

Be safe everyone.
The media won't publish too much.

I guess TAT is already panicking. Last thing they need now to attract tourists.

Nothing showed on TV...probably forbidden and even more I hope they keep their heads cool. I am afraid that the Government is trying to slam down these protest with unneccessary use of watercanons and teargaz, just maybe to get clashes which would give the military a reason for another coup, as Prayuth is not wanted anymore and with new electionsthere could be a thread for the military to loose power.  and by challeging the protesters they will find a reason if they fight/ruin/burn things. They did before...

Be interesting to see if anything about this is on Australia ABC New this evening. Certainly not the sort of thing potential tourists want to see.

Bring out the water cannons and helicopters .....   that'll soon disperse them.

Rubbish of course it was screened. It was streamed live on Voice TV. You could have watched it on YouTube.  . You still can if you wish, just go to Youtube and type in Voice TV By Thai standards just a minor melee or here is the link;

Silent protests in the cinema's these days. Went to see top gun on Wednesday, just 3 people stood up and a few had waited to come in after it had finished, which what was I used to do. Even the Mrs for the first time ever did not stand up.

nothing to get excited about .....   they were eventually sent on their way.

So pleased I moved away from there...

The extent to which the vast majority here are dissatisfied, frustrated, angry and ready to show their disapproval of the goons is huge. It is just a matter of time. 

 

Bye bye covid. Bye bye masking. Hello protests and unrest. It is inevitable when you have a nation run by thoroughly useless man for 8 years.

Thank you very much but on the regular was nothing to see ... this morning at least, but yesterday evening I wasn't able to watch and you should expect that it is a topic.  Even when I googled on youtube mob/protest Bangkok 11-6-2022 I only got video of 1 year ago

mainstream media were warned many times, the last time some 6 months ago, that broadcasting protests is inciting to crime, with possible sedition charges and such laws against editors and journalists.

"Thailand takes action against media groups for protest reports"

"Thailand aims to further censor media reporting of protests"

Do follow in english credible fb thai media and human rights/citizens channels

the last weekend protests were covered by them, including short video.

Both those pages have a long history and high level journalism

But there is no censorship in Thailand and there is freedom of speech according to the Government. Human Right Watchers must get out and tourist must come in...... But that are things that go together.... Tourists don't like to be silenced or not or wrong informed about their destination....
