Road Closure Near Government House Due to P-Move Protest
Authorities have closed Phitsanulok Road as the People's Movement for a Just Society (P-Move) gathers to protest the potential dissolution of the BAAC.
On August 3, 2026, Matichon Online reported that authorities implemented a strict closure of Phitsanulok Road in Bangkok. The measure was taken in response to a demonstration by the People's Movement for a Just Society (P-Move), who have gathered near Government House to voice their opposition to the proposed dissolution of the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC).
For residents and travelers, this closure is likely to cause significant traffic congestion in the area surrounding Government House. Those planning to commute through this part of the city should anticipate delays and consider alternative routes to avoid the protest site. While the road is currently restricted to manage the crowd and ensure security, the duration of the closure remains unconfirmed. Travelers are advised to monitor local traffic updates and news outlets for real-time information regarding road reopenings or potential expansions of the protest area. As this is an ongoing demonstration, the specific impact on public transportation and local access points may evolve throughout the day.
