Thailand: Truckers plan to protest outside Government House in Bangkok from 09:00 April 27

Event

Truck operators plan to protest outside the Government House in Bangkok from 09:00 April 27 to demand the authorities improve working conditions, including preventing increases in fuel prices. Organizers say more than 100 people will participate in the action.

Authorities will likely maintain increased security at the Government House and its surrounding area April 27. Localized transport and business disruptions could occur, particularly if protesters occupy nearby roads or drive trucks to the site. While unlikely, clashes between demonstrators and security personnel are possible.

Advice

Avoid the Government House April 27 due to potential clashes. Plan for possible localized transport disruptions and allow additional time to reach nearby destinations. If violence occurs nearby, immediately leave the area and seek shelter at a safe non-government building. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
