Bangkok protestors target hotels
BANGKOK – Protesting red shirts won’t go away and now they are threatening to further disrupt the commercial life of the Thai capital.
Thousands of anti-government protestors in Thailand continued to occupy a key commercial district in Bangkok in defiance of a government order.
The red shirts are calling for the government to step down and hold fresh elections.
The BBC reported that government is now seeking a court order to try to evict the protestors, who say they will not move until their demands are met.
The protestors have moved their main camp from the historic old part of Bangkok to the city’s commercial heart.
Many spent the weekend sleeping on mats outside five-star hotels and shopping centres advertising designer brands.
Under special security laws the protestors have been barred from entering or blocking 11 major routes which run through Bangkok.
