According to Reuters, some 2,500 people gathered at the Democracy Monument in Bangkok, Thailand on November 14 to protest against the government.
The protest movement began in July to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha. The protesters opposed Prime Minister Prayuth’s re-election in 2019, but said the choice was fair.

The protesters also demanded the reform of royal power, breaking what has been considered a long-standing taboo.
The royal family did not comment on the protest, but King Maha Vajiralongkorn said recently that the protesters are still loved and emphasized Thailand as a land of compromise.

Police said on November 14 that they would not use violence to suppress protesters, but that they had deployed 5,100 people to maintain security and order. Last week, the police used a tornado to stop the protesters from advancing towards the palace.

Also on November 14, thousands of protesters dressed in yellow pro-royal clothing gathered in an area several kilometers from the anti-government protesters. Some people carry Thai flags, a photo of the king saluting the royal head to attend the inauguration of the new station in Bangkok.
