Bangkok:Traffic has been closed at four strategic points surrounding Government House in response to the "Kamnan Mano" protest group's approach to Bangkok. The protest group, allied with the National People's Power Party (NPP), is currently moving from Khao Yoi, Phetchaburi province, towards the capital.
According to Thai News Agency, the Bangkok Metropolitan Police have announced the closures as a precautionary measure ahead of the protest. The public has been advised to avoid these routes and plan their travel accordingly.
Several key roads have been closed, including Phitsanulok Road from Chamai Marucheth Bridge to Suan Misakwan Intersection, Nakhon Pathom Road in front of Wat Benchamabophit School, Soi Likit, and Rama V Road from the Krom Luang Chumphon Shrine to Orathai Restaurant. These closures are in place for security purposes around Government House, and to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Police have informed the protesters that assembly is permitted only outside a 50-meter radius from Government House, adhering to the Public Assembly Act. The designated protest area is at the Krom Luang Chumphon Shrine, a public space previously used for assemblies by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD).
