BANGKOK: Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn has ordered police to stop completely blocking roads in Bangkok for royal motorcades, a government spokesperson said.

Thai police will instead block off only a part of the roads for the motorcade, said spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat on her Facebook page.

She also posted a video outlining the new rules, which also included allowing people to resume using bridges that tower over the motorcade route.

"His Majesty the King is concerned his royal travel or that of the royal family's could affect Thai people's commute," said a voice-over in the video.


Bangkok is one of the most congested major cities in the world, ranking 11th on US-based traffic analytics firm INRIX's Global Traffic Scorecard in 2017.

Yes they will stop traffic for 30-40mins prior to royal family motorcade arrival

Finally, the King has spoken.

Recently the Kings younger sister went on a island holiday to Phi Phi and the entire island was shut down just because she was there. Then on, there was huge public outrage from that incident...Now it looks like the outrage has finally reached to the palace.

Usually TS will follow up by asking the Malaysia counterpart to wake up or insult them. Apasal this one don't have?

Not to forget, when the motorcade passes by, no one was allowed to be on the overhead bridge..Because, well.. you would be "above" the king, wouldn't you.

i saw once.. i think it was Siam Paragon.
the whole Rama 1 road (easily one of BKK most congested roads) closed

2020 only they change this.. topkek

relax with the road man.. share together no harm one... like our king here.. even help ppl when accident

no more road block for concubine?

Look at our roadblock .. no wonder never move forward

here it comes

sikit2 kutuk Malaysia

even when in this case we're already better than Thailand

why don't people like you fuck off already?

Not just closing the roads. Pedestrian bridges were closed too. I personally experienced this when a police stopped me from using the pedestrian bridge.
