According to the Thai Nation newspaper, the protesters launched
verbal attacks through a megaphone saying the event tarnished the
city's reputation. They also reacted angrily to remarks made by the
organisers that the 'Rak Chiang Mai 51' group was acting like thugs. Fearing violence, the organisers Mplus, Chiang Mai's largest HIV/AIDS

Night Bazaar before ending at the Tawan Trendy Mall. The confrontation reportedly lasted an hour before the organisers
agreed to dismantle the stage and cancel the activities in the area.
The report noted that 150 policemen had been mobilised for the parade."
