A Pro-democracy protest today, October 29, has taken over the Silom district of Bangkok for an artistic and fashionable gathering under the “People’s Runway” theme.

The creative protest this evening was in protest to Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari’s fashion show which has according to the protesters allegedly been spending taxpayers’ money to produce its items of clothing, merchandise, and shows. The Pattaya News has not independently verified these claims by the protesters and stresses that these views are the protesters own.
