At 11:00 a.m. on 10 Nov 2026, at the protest site near Chamai Maru Chet Bridge, Pol. Col. Kittipong Chumueang, superintendent of Nang Loeng Police Station, met with leaders of the People’s Revolutionary Coalition to Protect the Land (NPP) to discuss reopening traffic routes. He said this coordination followed the policy of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to facilitate convenience and maintain order. The main issue was traffic coordination since Phitsanulok Road from Nang Loeng intersection to Panichayakarn intersection was fully closed. They requested the protest leaders to open some lanes, aiming to reopen at least one or two lanes out of four to ease public movement.Tags: [police negotiation, NPP protest, traffic management, Nang Loeng, Phitsanulok Road]

Regarding the 50-meter no-assembly zone from the Government House fence, officials said this was a demand from the protesters seeking a clear boundary for enforcement under the Public Assembly Act. They confirmed protesters are prohibited within 50 meters of the fence, but activities are allowed outside this zone as long as they do not disturb the daily lives of the public.Tags: [public assembly law, Government House, protest boundaries, legal enforcement]


At the Chamai Maru Chet Bridge area, officials continued to deploy forces and maintain barricades as before. Future stage speeches and activities will require ongoing coordination with protesters to reach compromises and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.Tags: [security measures, protest site, coordination, legal compliance]

With Rajavinit School reopening tomorrow, authorities must urgently open at least one or two traffic lanes to reduce impacts on students and parents traveling to school. Any noise from the protest potentially disrupting classes will require further discussions with the protesters.Tags: [school reopening, traffic relief, protest noise, student impact]

After Pol. Col. Kittipong negotiated with protest leaders, who must maintain distance from Government House per the Public Assembly Act’s 50-meter rule, some protesters expressed dissatisfaction. They demanded re-measurement of the distance between their assembly point and the Government House fence.Tags: [protest negotiation, Government House, measurement dispute, Public Assembly Act]


Protesters then threw a tape measure across the canal for police to tie to the Government House fence, measuring back to the protesters’ location on Rama V Road near the Prince Father statue. The 50-meter mark was found to lie in the middle of the road. However, some protesters were unhappy, accusing police of unfair measurement, shouting at officers because they felt restricted and their assembly rights infringed.Tags: [distance measurement, protest dispute, Government House, protest rights]

Later, Kamnan Mano came out to negotiate with protesters, asking for calm. NPP leaders informed media that Government House representatives had permitted protesters to use the area from the Phadung Krung Kasem canal edge to the Rama V Road sidewalk, and they believed the protesters were now satisfied.Tags: [negotiation, protest area, Government House permission, NPP leaders]
