Paranoia at the Parliament: naval officials patrol in their boats on Chao Phraya River close to the Parliament to prevent possible attempt by anti-government activists to approach the building via the river. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน
The navy and police deploy their patrol boats after activists suggest, somewhat half-jokingly, that they would "invade" the parliament building by paddling across the river on recreational boats used in public parks. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน 
The authorities seem to take the potential threat of an invasion by pro-democracy "Ducky Boats" very seriously. Marine department was instructed to monitor all river piers close to the Parliament for any sign of an amphibious landing. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน
Thailand 2020 or Normandy 1944? Police officers are even stationed on Kiakkai Pier, which locates next to the Parliament, to be on the lookout for the anti-government activists who may arrive by boats. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน

More footage of the navy patrol units on the Chao Phraya River. Will they bring out a battleship soon? #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน
Barricades and lines of police officers are obviously not meant to stop yellow-shirted ultraroyalists from gathering in front of the Parliament today. The counterprotesters say they oppose any charter amendment that touches on the monarchy's power. #Thailand #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน
