Event

Pro-democracy activists plan to hold further protests in Bangkok on Sunday, November 29, amidst weeks of anti-government unrest. Members of the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstrations (UFTD) student activist group plan to gather at the 1st Infantry Regiment headquarters in Phaya Thai district from 15:00 (local time). A separate gathering is planned near Imperial World Mall on Lat Phrao road from 16:00.

A heightened security presence and localized transport disruptions are expected in the vicinity of the demonstrations and clashes between security forces, protesters, and counter-protesters cannot be ruled out.

Context

Public opposition has grown against Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in recent months over government spending, the dissolution of an opposition party, and many other factors. Activists have also called for reforms to the powers of the monarchy. Protests on an increasing scale have been held in Bangkok and other locations across Thailand in recent months. Counter protests have also been held, particularly in support of the monarchy.

Advice

Those in Bangkok are advised to monitor the situation, anticipate transportation disruptions, avoid protests or demonstrations as a precaution, and adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
