webfact Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 CMPO To 'Reclaim' Chaeng Wattana RoadBy Khaosod EnglishBANGKOK: -- Governmental officials have announced that they will persuade anti-government protesters to leave their rally site on Chaeng Wattana Road.Supporters of People′s Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD) have been camping around the Government Complex since evening of 12 January as part of their "Bangkok Shutdown" campaign.Their numbers have been visibly dwindling in recent days.Officials said the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO) will spearhead a negotiation with the protesters in order to "reclaim" the area, and re-open state agencies in Government Complex currently shut down by the protesters.Those closed down agencies include the Ministry of Justice, the Division of Special Investigation (DSI), the Department of Consular Affairs, and a number of state telecommunication offices.It is unclear whether PCAD core leaders will agree to engage in the negotiation.Source: http://www.khaosod.co.th/en/view_newsonline.php?newsid=TVRNNU1EYzVNekl4TUE9PQ== -- Khaosod English 2014-01-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Could take months for the govt to award a contract to remove those sandbags since the BIB wouldn't dirty their hands in doing such. Will probably require public hearings & an environmental impact assessment. Not sure the caretaker govt has the authority to award a multi-hundred baht contract...and lord knows Yinluck is not going to make such a big decision....will want the Constitutional Court's sandbag removal ruling first.

Popular Post WhizBang Posted January 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2014 How about getting them out of Asoke too. No one here during the day and only a small crowd at night. Last night the loadspeakers stayed on until almost 1 am. How about the right to a peaceful night's rest for those of us that live in the protest areas? Thailand IS a failed state. No rule of law and a government that not only has no control, but is out of control. All we ever get from them is hot air.

Popular Post soi41 Posted January 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2014 For crying out loud!! Stop the talking! Negotiate with thugs?? Start the buldozers and the watercannons, plenty of manpower. And the street will be cleared in 5 minutes! If they relocate, follow them! Give the city back to its rightful owners, the people of Bangkok who to 90% just want to get on with their lives! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yim Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wow is that a protest site. I was under the belief that there were millions of people protesting in the streets. I've seen more people protesting about a speed limit in my village back home in England, than in this photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you a pro protestor? That's the feeling that I have gotten from some of your previous posts. On the other hand, I'm anti protestor but I do enjoy Asoke being closed down. Less pollution, less traffic, party atmosphere, good music (most of the time). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineconehead Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 @soi 41; I was thinking something similar. At least Thai people get out in the streets about these things. Here in NA it almost seems that it takes an nuclear explosion to get people out on the street making noise. Our politicians lie to us outrageously, and we sit placidly mesmerized by out tv's and high speed internet gadgets. Pathetic. I wish them well, and I hope they resolve this by talking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Wow is that a protest site. I was under the belief that there were millions of people protesting in the streets. I've seen more people protesting about a speed limit in my village back home in England, than in this photograph. Pictures can sometimes being deceiving... I don't know if ChaengWattana is anything like Asoke... but perhaps. During the daytime, it's pretty much deserted. But by dinner time, there are several thousand people there every night, and more on the weekends. It kind of depends on what time of day or night someone's snapping a photo. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/685198-information-on-protest-sites/?p=7354428 Edited January 27, 2014 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 No negotiation needed...just move them on, preferably straight to jail if they resistZich Heil heir Furer!!! I think this is a bit extreme, not to mention childish. Most protesters, if not all, have broken the law. If all protesters (red, yellow, whatever) operating outside the law i.e. blocking entry to polling stations, occupying govt buildings, burning property, tyres etc. faced prison terms when caught, then guess what? We might have (usually) law-abiding and respectful demonstrations a la developed countries. But no, this is lawless (or more accurately enforcement less) Thailand.
