BANGKOK, Oct 21 (Reuters): Scores of Thai royalists and anti-government protesters confronted each other in Bangkok on Wednesday (Oct 21) as demands for reforms to the monarchy and the departure of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha intensified.

Thousands of protesters also gathered at Victory Monument in central Bangkok for a march, defying a ban on political gatherings meant to end three months of protests.
