BANGKOK: Thai opposition party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit has been charged over an anti-government rally he staged last month, he said on Friday after meeting with police.

The Dec 15 rally that Thanathorn called was the largest since a 2014 coup when then-army chief Prayuth Chan-O-Cha seized power from a civilian government.
