Protests
Royalists gather in Chon Buri to support the Thai Monarchy amid anti-government protests
While pro-democracy protesters have been gathering nationwide over the past week, especially in their cat-and-mouse “pop up” protests around the capital, calling on an end to the military-run government and pushing the Thai PM to resign, royal supporters gathered at Chon Buri’s Banglamung District Office to show their support for Thailand and the Thai Monarchy.
They say they welcome discussion from the protesters, but not “insults against our most sacred institution”.
The royalists were dressed in yellow, a colour that symbolises the Thai Monarchy. They presented a letter to the district chief to be passed along to the governor expressing their support for the highest Thai Institution and their disapproval of insults spread online by pro-democracy protesters.
“Due to the current protest situation in Bangkok, Banglamung and other areas in Thailand, there are many photos, videos and comments that have insulted our most sacred institution which have gone viral in social media.
We appreciate our beloved monarchy. We must protect our monarchy.”

Police in the Pan Thong district of the eastern province of Chon Buri are hunting a 34 year old man who deliberately drove his pickup truck into his ex-girlfriend’s home in a fit of jealousy. His 42 year old ex, Uraiwan Kotsombat, has pleaded with police to find Chalermkiet Osodroob, saying he has previously threatened to burn her house down.

The man is alleged to have driven the truck through her living room, crashing into a wall inside the house. He is then accused of using a hammer to destroy property in the house, with his ex-girlfriend estimating the cost of the damage to be around 300,000 baht.

A 68 year old monk has been found hanged at a temple in the eastern province of Chon Buri, in an apparent suicide. The Pattaya News reports that police and rescue workers were called to a temple in the sub-district of Baan Suan at around 7.30am yesterday. The body of the dead man was found hanging near the monk’s housing quarters.
It’s understood there were no signs of a struggle and, in a letter allegedly written by the monk, he said he wanted to die. Other monks and nuns at the temple say they don’t know why he might have killed himself, adding that he had no problems or health concerns that they were aware of.
His death comes just days after a monk in the north-east of the country died after jumping in front of a speeding train.

Police in the city of Laem Chabang, the shipping port in the eastern province of Chon Buri, are hunting a suspect described as “armed and dangerous” following a robbery at a department store. Employees of the ‘Golden 99’ store were threatened at gunpoint before the man made off with gold valued at 200,000 baht. The 3 staff members were left shaken but unhurt.
Police were notified of the robbery yesterday evening and have been examining CCTV footage as part of their investigation. Footage shows the thief threatening employees, then climbing over the counter and taking an amount of gold before running out of the store. The authorities say they already have several leads in their search for the suspect.

Organised!
See all the same T shirts.
All the same pictures, and afterwards a trip along the freeway stood in the back of a truck.
Just one truck by the looks of it.
But organised by who?
I’ve seen a bigger crowd waiting for a pub to open

I notice everyone in the photo has the same shirt and photo. Presumably somebody had to pay for those things. Has anyone asked who bought all the merchandise?

This is called peaceful protest.
These protesters showed their virtues.

There is yet another massive protest going on in Bangkok as I write this message.
The anti-government/reduction-in-kings-power protests are much bigger than the pro-government protests as far as I can see and they are more frequent so overall there seem to be a lot more people demonstrating against the government than for it.

These yellow shirts are nothing but a bunch of brainless thugs and using the monarchy to justify their actions. Look at what happened at Ram university. They are the group starting the violence. Dinosaurs supporting dinosaurs
