Kamnan Mano Vows to Escalate Fuel Price Protest
Protest leader Kamnan Mano vows to escalate the fuel price demonstration in Bangkok if donation funds run out, invoking a "final battle" tactic. The People's Revolution to Protect the Nation group maintains demands for a 10-baht diesel cut and similar gasoline reductions, while adding drug suppression as a national agenda item. Despite police noting low turnout, organizers claim nationwide supporters await a signal to join the rally, which has drawn participants from several provinces.
Kamnan Mano reaffirms the protest stance demanding immediate fuel price cuts, revealing that if funds run out, the group will adopt the "King Taksin principle" of smashing cooking pots for a final showdown and push for drug suppression to become a national agenda item.
At 4:00 PM on November 10, 2026, at the Phanitchayakan intersection near Chamaimaruchet Bridge on Phitsanulok Road, the main rally point of the People's Revolution to Protect the Nation group led by "Kamnan Mano Khrueakaew" disclosed progress on the protest demanding lower oil prices and refinery cost management.
Kamnan Mano stated that today's protest continues with a speech stage as before, coordinating with oil experts to speak. Police have permitted use of two lanes, expanded from the original single parking lane, allowing the stage to remain despite limited space. Entering days 3-4, the group maintains its core demand: a 10-baht diesel cut and 8.50-9.50 baht reduction for 95/91 octane gasoline.
The group hasn't submitted formal letters to ministers or the PM, believing the government is already aware after two weeks of media demands. Despite Energy Minister Ekkanat Promphan stating work is being expedited, the lack of a clear timeline keeps the group firm. This "people's mob" runs on 5-10 baht donations totaling ~2 million baht. If funds deplete, they'll escalate using the "King Taksin principle" for a final battle, while awaiting government response and adding drug suppression as a national agenda item.
Regarding police assessment of low turnout, Kamnan Mano insists large numbers nationwide await a signal to join. Funding and food remain sustainable through self-organized kitchens and public ingredient donations. Tent rental issues arose when the vendor, despite a 20,000 baht deposit, withdrew all tents over location disputes in Kamnan's absence; the group substituted tarpaulins.
On attacks about relatives facing criminal charges, Kamnan Mano dismisses this as normal for a large clan of thousands including former parliament presidents, lawyers, drug dealers, and thieves — wrongdoers face legal consequences individually. He denies using AI to spread news, trusting public discernment.
He added that supporters from Chiang Mai, Chonburi, and the Eastern region have joined, but there are currently no plans to march throughout Bangkok.
