BANGKOK, Oct 26 (Reuters): Thai demonstrators have announced they would petition Germany to investigate King Maha Vajiralongkorn's use of his powers while he has been staying in the European country, as thousands of people again took to the streets of Bangkok.

Sunday's demonstration was the first major show of force since Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha ignored an overnight deadline from protesters to resign and since he withdrew Oct 15 emergency measures that had backfired by drawing bigger protests.
