Pro-democracy protesters and police clash in Bangkok as anti-government rallies calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha intensify. Democracy activists have assembled daily in the capital since last week, flouting the emergency edict as their calls for Prayut to go get louder. The former army chief masterminded the 2014 coup and protesters say the military-drafted constitution rigged last year's vote in his favour. IMAGES

Pro-democracy protesters gather in Bangkok at the headquarters of Siam Commercial Bank -- in which Thai king Maha Vajiralongkorn is a major shareholder. The location of the protest was changed from the Crown Property Bureau HQ to avoid possible clashes with a rival ultra royalist rally. Soon after coming to power following his father's death in 2016, the new king took control of the Crown Property Bureau which has assets in banks, companies and prime real estate. IMAGES
