Activist and protest leader Prasitchai Nunuan, from Protect Andaman from Coal, an anti-coal group from southern Thailand, talks to media and public during the rally against the government decision to allow the construction of an 870-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Krabi province.

Prasitchai, along with another member from the anti-coal network, conducted a 14-day hunger strike last July 2016 in front of the Ministry of Tourism and Sport in Bangkok to protest against the coal-fired power plant project.
