Protesters rally at Bang Na intersection and government complex in Nonthaburi
13 Sept 07:49Key points summarised by AI
Anti-establishment Ratsadon protesters staged two distinct rallies: one at the Nonthaburi government complex and another in Samut Prakan, culminating in a march to Bangkok's Bang Na intersection.
In Nonthaburi, a youth network leader organized a procession with mascots, setting up a stage at the government complex and causing significant traffic disruption at Khae Rai intersection.
Protesters in Samut Prakan gathered at a shopping mall, writing political messages before marching to Bang Na intersection, leading to the closure of sections of Sukhumvit Road.
Both protest groups reiterated the core demands of the Ratsadon movement: the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, the drafting of a new Constitution, and reform of the Monarchy.
