Thailand: Activists plan to protest at Kiakkai Intersection in Bangkok 16:00 March 21

Event

Pro-democracy activists from the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration group plan to protest at Kiakkai Intersection near the Parliament Complex in Bangkok from 16:00 March 21. The purpose of the action is to denounce the incumbent government. Dozens to a few hundred people could participate in the action.

Authorities will likely bolster security at Kiakkai Intersection and surrounding areas the afternoon of March 21. While the protest will likely pass off peacefully, scuffles between activists and security personnel may occur. Localized transport disruptions are possible near the gathering sites, especially if activists occupy nearby streets.

Advice

Avoid the protest site March 21 due to possible violence. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area. Plan for potential localized transport disruptions and allow additional time to reach nearby destinations. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
