Thai anti-government protesters occupy the road facing the Prime Minister's Office October 15, 5:21
In Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, young people conducting large-scale anti-government protests occupied the road facing the Prime Minister's Office and demanded that the Prayut administration resign, while the administration asked security officials to participate in the protests. We have instructed them to crack down on the situation thoroughly, and both sides are strengthening their confrontational stance.
In Thailand, a group of young people are calling for the resignation of the Prayut administration and reform of the royal system, and on the 19th of last month, a demonstration of 50,000 people, the largest since the administration was inaugurated, was held.
While the king, who is usually said to be staying abroad, is returning home, young people are holding a large-scale demonstration in Bangkok again from the 14th with supporters from all over the country.
On the 14th, a skirmish took place between the demonstrators and the police, and when the royal family passed by the demonstrators in a convoy to attend a religious event, members of the demonstrators were seen rushing in. At one point, the situation became tense.
The demonstrators then occupied the road facing the Prime Minister's Office, complaining that "the Prayut administration cannot entrust future generations," and demanded that they resign.
In response, the administration issued a statement, stating that Prime Minister Prayut had instructed security officials to crack down on demonstrators who obstructed the royal convoy, and the two sides confronted each other. I am strengthening my posture.
