Kamnan Mano Leads 1,000-Vehicle Protest Convoy to Bangkok
Kamnan Mano Khruakaew launched a protest convoy from Nakhon Si Thammarat aiming to gather 1,000 vehicles and drive to Government House in Bangkok. Demonstrators are demanding solutions for the high cost of living, expensive fuel, and the worsening drug crisis. The convoy plans to stop overnight in Surat Thani before continuing to the capital.
At 9:00 a.m. on November 5, 2026, a vehicle convoy led by Kamnan Mano Khruakaew, village head of Krabi Noi subdistrict, Mueang district, Krabi province, arrived at the Khuan Nong Hong intersection in Moo 1, Khuan Nong Hong subdistrict, Cha-uat district, Nakhon Si Thammarat province to gather supporters. A six-wheel truck fitted with a sound system served as a stage, where network members took turns addressing the crowd.
Before taking the stage himself, Kamnan Mano announced the mobilization target of 1,000 cars and trucks, backed by funding, to travel to Bangkok and present demands at Government House regarding the cost of living, high fuel prices, and the drug epidemic. Kamnan Mano explained the choice of Khuan Nong Hong as the starting point, calling it a legendary site of past public struggles over rubber prices, and saying they returned to draw inspiration for victory. He stated that people are currently suffering greatly, especially from soaring fuel prices and the rampant drug problem, which the state has not seriously suppressed. He emphasized that today's gathering stems from unbearable hardship and has no political party or hidden backers behind it. After the rally, the convoy plans to depart for a first overnight stop in Surat Thani province before continuing toward the capital.
