Thousands of protesters call for ouster of Thai PM

Thousands of people protested in Bangkok yesterday demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former junta leader, in the latest in months of anti-government demonstrations that have also called for reforms to Thailand's powerful monarchy. A few kilometres away, thousands of royalists gathered in yellow shirts and waved Thai flags as they waited to greet King Maha Vajiralongkorn, who was expected to attend a local event. Some 2,500 protesters gathered at Democracy Monument in Bangkok, according to police, putting on songs and dances mocking the government.
