bobonzo Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I see traffic moving on top and bottom roads at BangNa-Trat km 14 near King Keaw road. Where exactly is it closed to traffic into town ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICA Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I see traffic moving on top and bottom roads at BangNa-Trat km 14 near King Keaw road. Where exactly is it closed to traffic into town ? At the junction with Sukhumvit Road, it says. I'm at km 8 and the traffic's very heavy. My mother in law just took 3 hours to drive here from Minburi because of Ramkhamheang Road!

Albertosez Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Tell her you forgot to ask her to bring something from her house and ask her to go back and pick it up for you. That should keep you amused for a few days ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Army personnel and several vehicles mounted with GPMGs at the intersection of Lam Luk Ka road (Khlong 5) and Kanchanipisek Road tollway early this morning. All vehicles being checked before being allowed on the tollway. Massive tail back. Apparently they were concerned of weapons and/or armed terrorists coming from Korat and cutting across via Lam Luk Ka road rather than using the Nakhon Nayak road into Rangsit. Still there when we returned from the school run about hour and half later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxLee Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) How about the Bangna Trad area, around Central Bangna. I use this way to get onto Srinakarin to get to my home... If anyone could provide map with check points, I would really appreciate it. Did they announce any curfew yet??? Thanks in advance....

rickirs Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 While the Army is at it, maybe they can re-open the Chaeng Wattana Government Complex and Government House and assure government workers can work in a safe environment without threats and intimidation from anti-PTP protesters. While democracy is the greatest form of governmental institution a people can have, it is also the most vulnerable to anarchy. Without a measured and determined physical protection of a democratic institution, anarchy becomes a "force multiplier" that allows a minority to suppress the majority rule.
