A group of royalists clashed with pro-democracy demonstrators at the Siam Square sky train station today, forcing Pathumwan police and BTS officials to close all entrances to the connected malls.
The Taluwang anti-monarchy group, led by Tantawan Tuatulanon, held a rally at the station to explain an incident in which she was accused of honking a car horn at the convoy of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on an expressway in Bangkok.
Simultaneously, a royalist group rallied nearby to protest against the first group’s activities.
Speaking to the media during the rally, Tantawan offered a public apology for the incident, saying that she was sorry for speeding and was not careful enough.
She was booed and jeered by the royalists, resulting in a clash between the rival protesters, forcing her to end the press conference abruptly.
No serious injuries were…
