BANGKOK, Sept 20 (The Straits Times/ANN): Thousands of people gathered in Bangkok on Saturday (Sept 19) and Sunday morning in the biggest anti-government demonstration since the coronavirus pandemic gripped the kingdom.
The protesters, led by university students and joined by political activists from other parts of the country, swarmed Sanam Luang, a field next to the Grand Palace which is normally fenced off and reserved for royal or official events. They pledged to camp overnight and march to a yet undisclosed government office today. Over 30,000 people were estimated to have turned up yesterday.
