Bangkok, June 1 – Thai Buddhist monks walk past soldiers on duty today to prevent rallying against the military coup at a checkpoint near the Democracy Monument, Bangkok, Thailand.
Thousands of soldiers and police were mobilized at eight spots in the Bangkok capital to quell any signs of unrest today to thwart sporadic protests against the May 22 coup.
Troops and riot police were stationed in the central shopping district where one political activist had vowed to host a coup party. Many of the businesses in the area were closed, although cars were allowed on the streets as usual.
