Protest shuts Hat Yai road

CHEEWIN SATTHA

People's Alliance for Democracy protesters blocked roads to Hat Yai airport in Songkhla yesterday afternoon. The blockade lasted a few hours. Some flights were delayed.

Banjong Nasae, a leader of the PAD network in the South, said at least 500 PAD supporters turned out.

The road closure was aimed at putting pressure on the government not to forcefully disperse the protest in Bangkok.

In Chiang Mai, a motorcyclist hurled a ping-pong ball bomb at the office of the local PAD network on Tuesday night. No injuries were reported.

Chiang Mai governor Wiboon Sa-nguanpong met with senior police yesterday for a briefing on the political situation in the province.

Police have been posted at NBT television's Chiang Mai office following the raid on the state-owned broadcasting channel's headquarters in Bangkok on Tuesday.
