Big protest rally tomorrow in Bangkok
Although Bangkok Shutdown is over, protest go one in Thailand. They could even increase intensity after the cancellation of the last elections by the Constitutional Court (see our article). First step tomorrow with a large PDRC walk in the streets of Bangkok.
The procession will at 9:30 am from Lumphini Park, the base camp of anti- government protesters led by Suthep, then direction to Royal Plaza and Parliament. Traffic will be disrupted in the capital and routes of some bus lines will change. It is not impossible that the Parliament area will be close for security reasons making the visit of Wat Benchamabophit complicated but for the rest, the main tourist attractions in Bangkok should be accessible without difficulties.
The revendication of tomorrow’s rally can be summarized in one sentence: “reforms before elections.” While new elections could be held within 60 days after the invalidation of the previous poll. Invalidation that push Red Shirts, supporters of the current government, to mobilize. They will also will demonstrate in a week.
