Police have blocked approaches to Government House with shipping containers and razor wire ahead of a rally against Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha over their eight-year tenure.

Containers were also placed on Chamai Maruchet Bridge upon Phitsanulok Road, opposite Government House.

Police anticipated at least 500 demonstrators to gather outside Federal government House on Tuesday afternoon.

Police in uniform and plain clothes have been on duty at road checkpoints plus areas around Govt House since past due Monday night. Protesters were expected to join political activities in various locations to call for the end of Gen Prayut’s time in office and criticise the government.

One of the planned demonstration sites was Authorities House.    

From Lan Khon Muang in front of City Corridor in Phra Nakhon district, demonstrators setup a rally stage on Monday night time. Security guards provided by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration kept watch. There were no occurrences.

Politics activist leaders Jatuporn Prompan and Nititorn Lamlua have previously called for an end in order to Gen Prayut’s 8 years in power. Should he insist upon staying on outside of Aug 24 they would mobilise demonstrations demanding the return from the country to the individuals.

These people planned to move at Government House on Tuesday, along with demonstrators intending to stay overnight there.

If Style Prayut did not go to Government House but chose instead to work from elsewhere, the two activists said they would guide the demonstrators right now there to put pressure on Gen Prayut. That they had no fear of the usage of force to spread out them.

Pol Maj Style Varakorn Yooyangthai, commander of the 3rd Exclusive Branch Division, mentioned police were on full alert.  

The Metropolitan Police Bureau was responsible for shutting off the area about Government House to traffic, he mentioned.
