The Army yesterday warned the public not to panic over the movement of military equipment and vehicles on Thursday, as it would be done in preparation for Children's Day.
Colonel Sirichan Nga-thong said the Army would move equipment and vehicles from military bases in Bangkok, Ratchaburi, Prachin Buri, Sara Buri and Lop Buri provinces to the King’s Guard 2nd Cavalry Division in Bangkok to prepare an exhibition for Children’s Day.
Helicopters from Lop Buri would arrive at the cavalry division around noon on Thursday and other item such as tanks, cannons, Humvees, rescue vehicles and water trucks would be moved at night through suburban and city streets such as Petchkasem, Rajavithi, Vibhavadi Rangsit and Phaholyothin. They would move back to the military bases on Saturday along the same routes.
