BANGKOK, Oct 24 (Bloomberg): Thailand is set for a fresh wave of street protests by pro-democracy activists with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha ignoring their deadline to quit by Saturday.

Free Youth and the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration, two of the main protest groups, have vowed to stage mass gatherings until all of their demands, which include a rewriting of the constitution and reform of the monarchy, are met. There are at least two protests planned for Bangkok on Saturday and nine in other provinces, according to Free Youth.
