The group, including workers at bars, karaoke shops and massage parlours, said the government could close entertainment venues to combat Covid-19 but it must also compensate them for lost income.
Human rights defenders joined the protesters, who submitted a letter to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha via the PM’s Office asking for monthly payments.
The group also placed 30 high-heeled shoes in front of Government House and vowed to return if the government did not tackle their problems.
