Protesters Gather Near Government House Demanding Fuel Price Cuts
A group led by 'Kamnan Mano' is staging a protest near Government House in Bangkok to demand an immediate 10-baht reduction in fuel prices.
On November 10, 2026, a group known as the People's Revolution Front for Land Protection (NPP), led by Mr. Mano Kruakaew, also known as 'Kamnan Mano,' initiated a protest near the Chamai Maruchet Bridge in Bangkok. Approximately 100 demonstrators have gathered on Rama 5 Road to voice their grievances regarding the rising cost of living and current fuel prices, calling for an immediate 10-baht reduction.
The protest site, which currently utilizes a pickup truck equipped with a loudspeaker system rather than a formal stage, has remained peaceful. Notable figures, including performer 'Nong Diao Nang Talung,' have appeared to criticize the government's economic policies before departing. To manage the situation and ensure public safety, local police have closed Phitsanulok Road between the Chamai Maruchet Bridge intersection and the Suan Misakawan intersection.
For residents and travelers, this demonstration may cause localized traffic disruptions in the vicinity of Government House. While the atmosphere remains calm, the organizers have threatened to escalate their actions if their demands are not met. It remains to be confirmed how long the protesters intend to occupy the area and whether the government will engage in formal negotiations to address their specific economic concerns. Travelers are advised to monitor local news and avoid the immediate protest zone to prevent potential delays.
