WTF Thailand: Traffic chaos broke out in downtown Bangkok after commuters woke up to find cops blocking some roads with containers to deter a march to the Crown Property Bureau -- even though the protest was already moved to another location. #Thailand #รถติด #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB 
Police made no announcement about the barricades, which literally appeared overnight, adding more woes to rush hour traffic in Bangkok this morning. Today's demonstration is set to take place at Siam Commerical Bank HQ, nearly 15 km away. #Thailand #รถติด #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
Meanwhile, ultraroyalists were free to gather in front of the parliament building without attempts by the police to disperse them. A parliament official even met with the pro-monarchy protesters and accepted their petition. #Thailand #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeningInThailand
BREAKING: Police say they block traffic on some roads during rush hour this morning in order to stop protesters from breaking the law and "violating other people's rights and liberties." #Thailand #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #รถติด
Looks like the cops have finally waken up! Crowd control police are swarming the office complex of Siam Commercial Bank, the target of today's demonstration by protesters seeking PM Prayut Chan-o-cha's ouster and reforms of the monarchy. #Thailand #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #KE
Why SCB? The bank is closely tied to the Crown Property Bureau — the major shareholder is none other than HM King. One of protesters' 10 demands for monarchy reform is that the Royal Family's wealth should be brought under civilian oversight. #Thailand #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
And where was PM Prayut Chan-o-cha when all this was unfolding this morning? He was in a discussion with American business community, including the U.S.-Asean Business Council, to seek further investment & trade with Thailand. #Thailand #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
