Thailand: Pro-democracy activists plan to demonstrate near CentralWorld mall in Bangkok May 19

Pro-democracy activists plan to demonstrate near CentralWorld mall in Bangkok from 15:00 May 19 to commemorate the anniversary of the 2010 Thai military crackdown on anti-government protesters in Bangkok. Participants intend to gather at the Ratchaprasong intersection in front of the mall; up to a few hundred people could join the protest.

A heightened security presence is likely in the affected area over the coming hours. While the protest will probably pass off peacefully, scuffles between activists and security personnel may occur. Localized transport disruptions are possible, especially if activists occupy nearby streets.
