Anti-government movement leader meets backer Sondhi to map out strategy Mano Khruakaew also called ‘Kamnan Mano’ met with former People's Alliance for Democracy leader Sondhi Limthongkul to discuss the future direction and possible escalation of the ongoing protest movement. Sondhi has pledged 2 meals a day for as long as the protest goes on for all the protestors who would be participating. Kamnan Mano who had planned 1,000+ vehicles to converge in Bangkok for an anti-government protest, reached the area around the Government House last night and have now camped outside the Government House, where Royal Thai Police has cordoned off the 50-meters area from the Government House. Kamnan Mano, who has been in the local politics for about 2 decades, declined he was affiliated with any political party and that the demonstration has managed to gather momentum. He is demanding the following •A 10 Baht per litre reduction in all fuel prices. •Stronger measures to tackle drug-related problems. •Government action to address public hardships. More demonstrators are reportedly expected to arrive from different regions, while the protest continues around Government House, with partial road closures and police monitoring the situation. #Thailand# #Bangkok# #Protest# #กำนันมาโน# #Government# #CostOfLiving# #FuelPrices#
