Thai protesters back on the streets to mark Siamese Revolution that ended absolute monarchy

Hundreds of protesters returned to the streets of the Thai capital Bangkok on June 24, 2021, calling for Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to step down. The rally was organised to commemorate the 89th anniversary of the Siamese Revolution, which ended absolute monarchy in Thailand. Bangkok was rocked by anti-government protests in 2020, but later lost steam following the coronavirus outbreak in the country and a police crackdown on demonstrators.
