Shutdown Bangkok

26 images Created 13 Jan 2014

Shutdown Bangkok is the latest strategy of the anti-government protestors in Bangkok to bring down the elected government of Yingluck Shinawatra. Protestors have occupied at least seven key intersections in Bangkok and shut down the roads around the intersections. Traffic is gridlocked in the areas around the intersections and government ministries are being forced to work out of other locations.
