Police are asking the public to avoid the area around the Bangkok Arts and Culture Centre in Bangkok’s Pathumwan district, where supporters of the Move Forward party will hold a rally this evening (Friday) in protest over party leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s failure to become prime minister.

 

They blame Pita’s loss on the Senate, who harshly criticised Pita and Move Forward on Thursday for insisting that the country’s lèse majesté law must be amended.

 

The rally will start at 6pm. Police say that the public and motorists should avoid the approaches to Pathumwan intersection, near which the Arts Centre is located.

Let the games begin!

 

There is absolutely no other option, the judiciary is stitched up tight, CC and EC have zero credibility and have shown exactly where there loyalties lie. The buffoons in brown and the military, well the less said the better as for senators...

 

With all that placed fully against any semblance of democracy what other option do the people have?

 

For the people who say that violence has no place I suggest you check history as it has been shown time and time again to be the only way to overthrow dictators and their ilk

 

I just hope sanity prevails but I won't hold my breath...

Let the "Blame Games" begin.....

That senate rules setup isn't a poison pill.

It's a poison time bomb.

Something is rotten in a state and it ain't Denmark.

Why avoid? I would have gone to support. 

 

Complete waste of time! When has a small rally ever changed anything in Thailand?

 

We all knew that the election was just for show. Now let the “old boys” get back to ruling.
