Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt has given the green light to a four-day rally counting down to the eight-year limit on Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha's premiership, but says the demonstrators cannot stay overnight.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) yesterday began demolishing what remains of Bang Lamphu department store in Phra Nakhon district. The move is a rare victory in City Hall's fight against unsafe buildings in the capital.
City Hall has assured the public that Sanam Luang is open for visitors every day, except when important events such as royal ceremonies or state functions are held.
