The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship chairman Jatuporn Prompan and co-leader Nattawut Saikuar on Sunday vowed to go ahead with their visit to Rajabhakti Park in Hua Hin on Monday to check on alleged corruption in the project.

The UDD leaders confirmed their intention after complaining of soldiers being seen at the entrance to their housing estate since early Sunday morning. 

Mr Jatuporn said the soldiers’ presence showed that the National Council for Peace and Order intended to thwart or obstruct him and Mr Nattawut from travelling to Rajabhakti Park on Monday.

He was speaking on the “Mong Klai” (Look Beyond) programme broadcast on YouTube on Sunday. 

He warned of more public doubts regarding the park and other negative consequences if the NCPO barred them from making the trip to Hua Hin, and urged Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha to instead help them to go there. 

He said he and Mr Nattawut would pay their respects to the giant statues of the former kings and asserted there would be no mobilisation of red shirt supporters, and that the trip had no hidden political agenda.   

Mr Nattawut posted a message on his Facebook claiming four military vehicles arrived at his housing estate at 5am on Sunday, but vowed to continue the Hua Hin trip.      

“I confirm that I will travel to Rajabhakti Park regardless of what they are going to do with me,” he wrote.
