Several vehicles of the People’s Alliance for Democracy caused traffic snarls in front of the Yommaraj gate of the expressway after the protesters refused to pay toll for using the expressway. By 5 am, the protesters failed to negotiate the expressway officials to allow them to pass the tollgate without paying.

I am 100% with them. Why should they pay? They belong to another nation not to this Kingdom. Is it not true that they have their own ruling, their own Police, their own leaders, their own everything. One day I saw one PAD protester carrying a poster saying” We are the owners of Thailand”. This says all!!!
Poor country that bows to this kind of people.

if they are separate they should be charged at full market rates for everything they use and abuse
rent and damages at GH
use of roads and footpaths
(ab)use of public busses
etc…..
