On October 17, local time, Thai demonstrators held protest rallies in various locations in Bangkok despite the government's declaration of the implementation of the state of emergency law.
On the same day, anti-government groups called on supporters through social media to wait for the final location of the rally at nearby subway and light rail stations at 3 pm.
Subsequently, many local subway and light rail stations announced the suspension of services to prevent large crowds from gathering.
The reporter saw thousands of demonstrators chanting slogans with anti-government "three-finger" gestures to express their dissatisfaction with the authorities.
The rally ended at around 8 pm local time.
This round of demonstrations and protests has been held for 4 days since the 14th and has been escalating.
Thai Prime Minister Prayut held a press conference on the 16th to announce that the Cabinet has approved the implementation of the Bangkok State of Emergency Announcement signed by him, which is expected to be implemented within 30 days.
