Daily anti-government protests will continue but will diminish in size as protesters face tougher legal action, according to the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB).
Pol Maj Gen Piya Tawichai, deputy commissioner of the MPB, said on Wednesday the Thalu Fah group was expected to stage another rally at Nang Loeng intersection at 4pm and to try to march towards Government House.
The group had protested at the same place on Tuesday and tried to approach Government House. The police stopped them and arrested nine people, he said.
Police would also summon and fine an old woman who was among the protesters and had stripped in front of riot police on Tuesday, he said.
On Tuesday, protesters went to Mit Maitree Road at Din Daeng intersection, where they set fire to property and threw fireworks at police and Molotov cocktails at eight police vehicles, according to Pol Maj Gen Piya. Police had identified 15-20 suspects, he said.
"From now on, protests are likely to occur at two places, at Nang Loeng and Din Daeng intersections, but the number of protesters will not be high. In coming days, legal action will be intensified," he said.
