Protesters Rally in Bangkok to Demand Premier’s Resignation

Thousands of Thai protesters rallied in Bangkok on Saturday to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, as the fallout continued from her controversial phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.

Demonstrators gathered at the Victory Monument junction and blocked a key intersection in the capital, waving flags as monks prayed and chanted on a stage, according to the rally organizer’s live streaming video. Organizers brought the rally forward by six hours, with crowds becoming larger as the day progressed.
