waerth Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Medical workers march against govt http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/Medical-workers-march-against-govt-30224141.html Thousands of medical workers started their anti-government demonstration from Public Health Ministry, heading to Ha Yeak Lat Prao intersection. They demanded political reform before election and the establishment of neutral and acceptable mechanism to reform politic and prevent the dictating democracy.

cavanami Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Had to drive up to Pathum Thani this morning. The Outer Ring Road, west of the river was about empty. Very light traffic for a Monday morning. Drove back about 1 PM and again, very light traffic. Rama 2 was with little traffic. I saw a lot of buses parked around Pathum Thani, so they must had dropped off the people and drove a bit north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
