Red Shirt protests in Bangkok & Chiang Mai this weekend
September 17, 2010 – 10:33 pm
This coming weekend, the “red shirt” protestors plan to hold demonstrations in Bangkok and Chiang Mai to mark the 4th anniversary of the 2006 coup from 17-19 September. The events will be held around Ratchaprasong intersection and the Democracy Monument in Bangkok; and the railway station and around the moat area in Chiang Mai.
As a precaution the government will further extend security measures in order to ensure that all protests will remain peaceful as earlier announced.
Most tourist attractions around Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and the rest of Thailand are operating as normal.
