Protest Group Plans Demonstration at Ministry of Energy

On November 14, 2026, Mano Kruakaew, leader of the People's Revolution for Land Protection (NPP), announced plans for a protest march to the Ministry of Energy scheduled for Monday, November 16. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the group expects thousands of supporters from southern Thailand, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Suphan Buri to join the demonstration. The primary objective of the protest is to challenge the government's energy policies, specifically questioning why Thailand sells domestically produced oil at high prices to its own citizens. The group intends to direct these concerns to the Minister of Energy, the Prime Minister, and the Cabinet. Political activist Phatthaphong Suphakson, also known as 'Lawyer Aun,' expressed support for the group's legal standing. For residents and travelers, this event may lead to increased political activity and potential traffic disruptions near the Ministry of Energy and surrounding areas in Bangkok. While the organizers are confident in the turnout, the actual scale of the protest and the government's formal response remain to be confirmed. Observers should monitor local news for updates on potential road closures or security measures that could impact travel plans in the vicinity of the protest site.
