Thailand: Activists plan to protest at Chamai Maruchet Bridge, Bangkok, from 10:00 Nov. 22
Demonstration planned at Chamai Maruchet Bridge in Bangkok, Thailand, from 10:00 Nov. 22. Increased security likely.
Activists affiliated with the Students and People's Network for Thailand Reform (STR) group plan to protest at Chamai Maruchet Bridge from 10:00 Nov. 22 to demand that the government take a stand on the Koh Kut island dispute between Thailand and Cambodia. Dozens to a few hundred people could join each event.
Police will likely deploy additional personnel to monitor the demonstrations. Activists could march to nearby locations such as Government House, prompting possible localized transport disruptions. Scuffles between demonstrators and security personnel may occur, especially if activists attempt to bypass security barriers or defy police orders to disperse. Officials may arrest overly disruptive demonstrators.
Avoid the protest site as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Allow additional time for journeys in the affected area. Heed all official security and transport advisories. Leave an area at the first sign of unrest. Do not attempt to cross roadblocks; plan alternative routes.
