BANGKOK - Thousands of protesters set off on a march in Thailand’s capital Bangkok on Sunday, saying that they would present their demands in a letter for King Maha Vajiralongkorn. The protesters have said they want the removal of former junta leader Prayuth Chan-ocha as prime minister, a new constitution and reforms to curb the powers of the monarchy.
One of the protest leaders, Parit “Penguin” Chiwarak, told the crowd that instead of marching to Government House as previously planned, they would now hand a letter to the king’s Privy Council.Reporting by Patpicha Tanakasempipat; Editing by Matthew Tostevin and William Mallard
