Thousands begin march to Government House
By ThaiDay 14 March 2006 10:36
Led by members of the Santi Asoke Buddhist sect’s Dharmma Army, anti-Thaksin protestors began filing out of Sanam Luang just before 7am to begin their march to Government House.
In orderly files, thousands of demonstrators flooded Ratchadamnoen Road carrying colorful flags and banners and chanting “Thaksin Get Out.”
The march had an immediate effect on traffic as all vehicles around Sanam Luang and coming from Thon Buri across the Somdej Phra Pinklao Bridge came to a complete stop.
Along the route, residents – some still in their pyjamas – came out to watch the demonstrators pass.
As the front lines of the demonstration arrived at Democracy Monument around 7.10am, tens of thousands of protestors were still waiting to file out of Sanam Luang.
PAD leaders plan to stay briefly at the monument before continuing on to Government House just before 9am.
