BANGKOK (Reuters): Thai police will deploy nearly 6,000 officers on Wednesday (Nov 25) at the office that manages the royal fortune as the kingdom braces for a demonstration by protesters demanding that King Maha Vajiralongkorn give up personal control of the assets.
Police said on Tuesday that no protesters would be allowed within 150m of the Crown Property Bureau, where royalists have also said they plan to gather in defence of a monarchy that faces its biggest challenge in decades.
