Bangkok – Authorities are preparing for a large-scale demonstration at Victory Monument tomorrow as protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

Authorities have urged organizers to strictly comply with the law and have advised motorists to avoid roads near Victory Monument due to expected congestion. Protesters have been warned against bringing alcohol or any illegal items to the site. Police have also called on media outlets to report on the event responsibly to prevent public confusion or misinformation.

Pol Lt Gen Archayon emphasized that the demonstration must conclude within the day, with overnight stays prohibited. To accommodate the expected crowds, authorities have arranged ambulances and mobile restrooms at all four corners of the monument.

Protest leader Phichit Chaimongkhon announced that the rally, originally set to begin at 4 p.m., will start earlier to accommodate demonstrators traveling from other provinces. Meanwhile, fellow organizer Jatuporn Prompan claimed there have been attempts to block protesters from reaching Bangkok and warned of possible disruptions by outside groups.

Public support for the protest has grown, with donations reportedly reaching 20 million baht. The rally marks a significant challenge for the government as tensions between authorities and opposition groups continue to escalate.
