On Friday, Thai youth including young Thai political activists protested outside the government house of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and generals who orchestrated a 2014 coup.
Over the past week, protests against the government have erupted in at least six provinces of Thailand, along with internal party rifts leading to six cabinet members resigning.
Protesters on Friday burned images of Prayuth and his deputy, Prawit Wongsuwan.
Youth groups of Thailand are further planning several protests for the weekend.
Last week, Bangkok saw about 2,500 people protest as one of the biggest street demonstrations since the 2014 coup.
The protesters call on the government to dissolve parliament, step down, and end harassment of critics.
Such demonstrations would have once been impossible and unthinkable as criticism against the king is illegal in Thailand.
The cabinet resignations and protests come amid Thailand ranking as Southeast Asia’s worst-performing economy, which Thai central bank states could contract further by 8.1% this year due to the negative impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
