Mr Thanathorn was supposed to meet a group of students on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, dozens of yellow-shirted people converged amid tight security to protest against Mr Thanathorn near a hotel where he was to meet the group's election candidates. Mr Thanathorn is accused of being a key supporter of anti-government protesters who have demanded the prime minister's resignation, a charter rewrite and monarchy reforms. Police were deployed to maintain order at the site and keep the crowd from entering the compound of a hotel where Mr Thanathorn had booked to stay. The crowd dispersed when they were sure Mr Thanathorn had left.
