BANGKOK, Oct 30 (Bloomberg): Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha, facing pressure amid expanding protests calling for his ouster, told reporters Friday that "no one wants to stage a coup.”

Asked about rumors and suggestions by some protesters of a possible coup to replace him, he said the question should be asked of those making the comments, not to him: "We never think about this. We need to be careful and prevent the situation from escalating.”
