Anti-government protesters have rallied again in Bangkok, demanding that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha resign for mishandling the Covid-19 situation.

Like in the past three days, nighttime clashes between police and demonstrators followed in the Din Daeng area in Bangkok after the rally ended.  

The protest began at 4pm, when around 300 demonstrators, led by the Thalu Fa group, met at Victory Monument.

There, they put a few mock body bags on the road and put up a banner reading “Prayut out” in the area.

According to protesters, the goal of the rally was for Prayut to resign.

A key member of the group said people wanted efficient vaccines. “We’ve seen enough losses. If the tyrants won’t leave, we need to come out,” he said.

At 4pm, the group announced it would move to Government House.

Police used tear gas there after the protesters tried to enter a restricted zone.  

The group ended the rally at 6pm but some demonstrators went back to the Din Daeng area where riot police were stationed. Clashes were reported there as police were trying to seize control of the area.
