There had been no end to the standoff between authorities and protesters at Ban Pakbang School in Satun’s Langu district by Thursday afternoon after the first public hearing on the proposed Pak Bara deep-sea port project was scrapped due to a stalemate in demands.

Activists warned that if authorities did not respond to their appeal to halt the first public hearing on the Pak Bara seaport project in Satun province within three hours, they would raid the venue on Wednesday night.
