Phuket: Crowds in Phuket braved the rain to gather at Dolphin Square to protest the upcoming Jewish New Year celebration. A group of protesters advocating for the protection of Phuket's land have begun gathering at Loma Patong Square to demonstrate their opposition to the Jewish and Israeli baptism ceremony scheduled to take place in Shabad Patong from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM tonight. The group will begin marching to the front of Shabad Patong at 4:00 PM.

According to Thai News Agency, the protest reflects growing tensions regarding the use of local spaces for international religious events. The demonstrators are focusing their efforts on opposing the ceremony, arguing that such events may have implications for the preservation of local traditions and land use practices. The gathering at Loma Patong Square marks the start of their march towards Shabad Patong, where they plan to express their concerns more directly.
