Thousands of Thai protesters gathered at one of Bangkok’s busiest intersections on October 15 despite a freshly-imposed decree banning groups of more than four people.
The move is deemed as part of the Thai government’s crackdown on the country’s ongoing youth-led pro-democracy movement. More than 20 people, including leading activists, were arrested overnight after the ban was introduced.

2020 is the year where people decide to do mass protests all round the world
Oh no, theres a dangerous virus spreading ariund the world! Lets gather around to make a protest!
tbh ill probably just stay in my house and wait for everything to get safe... = /
Except in mainland china.
@@blueice4771 there was only 4 new cases in Thailand yesterday so it’s pretty safe to protest there
2020 is the year the worlds leaders unite to starve all the people on the planet .
Fact
Let's be real here
One core reason for for such a reaction from the populace is because they were driven to a corner
Or driven by hatred and lost of job because of covid 19 which is not anyone fault, pandemic happens and the only thing we can do is fighting together to pass through this crisis, not fighting against one another to make it worse
@variety byun not just a few months, how about the food for tomorrow?
@@leelawadeesrisamad9573 the thing is though, they're not fighting against each other, these are citizens fighting together, against a curropt government.
Hongkong, USA, Indonesia, and now Thailand😔

Using Covid-19 as decoy is not an elegant way to defend yourself, prime minister.
they will regret this after, this already happened in philippines and make us poor for long decade... lucky we're cleaning now with President Du30...
Excuse me Sir/Madam

They are a death cult /groups within deep state partys in the united nations.......
2020 is just the introduction to what's to come thought these next decades
Screaming don’t hurt the protestor while smashing the police with the steel wire cutter and bringing a 5 year old boy who should sleep peacefully at home to fight with the police is a shameful act as well.
It is Time to Stop CORRUPTION!!!

Respect to the people of Thailand.
The recipe for a perfect Thai storm:
- Military coups that never end
- Lèse-majesté
- A king that fled the nation amid pandemic
- Destroyed economy
- Rampant joblessness due to the collapse of tourism industry
When the Thais resort to this, they wont give in to brutality.
pretty accurate summary of Thailand right now, yet the Thai people's solution to these problem: using hand gesture from Hollywood movie "the hunger game" and want the king to give up more power, as if that's going to solve everything.
Respect to Thai people.. they are honest and very pridefull.. I love Thailand it’s like my 2nd home...
They are unarmed, don't worry about national security.
Unarmed? But when police arrest them all I can see is molovtov, a bag of soup, fireworks, chairs, etc.
How's that unarmed?
Support the people of Thailand 🇹🇭. Please do not follow Hong Kong protestors mob rules mentality
@rom tn Hk protestors worship western colonialism especially USA and UK, we all know CIA was behind hk riot.

I hope not Vietnam :( From what I've seen the police got involved in all one way or another and they usually get violent both sides
Democracy for Thailand! Keep fighting for next generations! 👍👍👏👏

@@scottymsu6063 We just have election last year and the current government could gather majority representatives to form the government. So I could say that we have democracy.
@@scottymsu6063 It's better if the Government clean itself. First of all start on picking a Leader that really cares to his people. Phillipines is a Great Country before there's a lotof country looking up to it in time of Marcos but after this, this kind of Democracy Coup De Tat its start to destroy itself. Media brainwash people and every book articles saying Marcos is Dictator and Thief but first of all. All of the things phillipines have is from Marcos even though it's already 3 decades.
Now that’s a protest. More ppl should do it.
haha the 5 eyes lead by the CIA finance this as in Hongkong. We will collapse China with internal strife as well.
Yeah and let them fall into the same pit as the Philippines right?! You're one of those great idiots in the history of the world.
It makes you wonder how many bought coronavirus back to their families 🤔
@rom tn That sounds like a communist revolution…
They deserve democracy. Monarchies are obsolete and antique.
How about Norway?
Rulers act as a superiority. Everyone deserves equality and freedom.
How about UK? Or Scottish for that matter?
@@asahiglass Give those monarchs the french treatment
They loved their last King.
not as bad as in indonesia and hongkong though, thailand is far more civil
Actually I think, it is just "not yet buddy". It will be ... soon.
The protestor civil? Yes but the Gov. Not
Nah indonesia yearly routine
this year bit larger because to relief covid stress, last demonstration even high school join crowd because nothing to do at home 🤣
lol maybe they want to show what Thailand really is, Thai Land(Land of Peace)
Emulating the Hong Kong protest is ok, but whatever the Thais follow just don't follow the violent acts committed by the small group of rioters.
Hope they don't destroy their economy and then be so surprised they lose jobs.
@@sword7872 Covid-19, many lost their jobs already. So no need to afraid of.
@@sword7872 like @Cho Pra said above... since thailand have lots of tourism bussiness pre-covid... many of them collapse and lots of people lost their job.
@@estrioleyin5667 that's no excuses to make it worse. These people should learn from the Filipinos who suffered from the same fate after this same scenario. We have fallen before because there were no other media to make use see what was really happening. We were blinded and we were fooled. So please do not commit that very same mistake.
@@joshuacatadman9748 yeah that's the logic... but too bad that doesn't work with the angry mobs... especially when there's some provocator that flaming the mobs...
Thailand, I hope to achieve democracy.
Oh my goodness. NO! ☹️
🇹🇭🙋♀️🌍Students, students and the public..Fight and claim democracy...
And more importantly, we want to see Thailand become more prosperous....Today the people and the economy are in great decline...

Free people MUST be Free...this will be Thailand!!
You should learn what is democracy first. Now you not respect and attack other who don't think the same.Thailand already free.And you're not the most of Thai think the same and it not mean that generation are bigger than the old gen.
We just have the election and the opposition parties were lost so firstly you need to learn to accept the lost and to wait for another election to vote for the party, which you support.
Wow its almost like they support democracy or something, thats insane man
They support GIobaIist/radicaI Ieftist communism

Do they even have enough cops to arrest everyone?
they will use the army like before, shooting people, bashing people etc
@@gordonaldred8529 That'd enrage more people, thus more people to protest for it.

much love and support from the Philippines for the THAI PEOPLE and your struggle for democracy...!!!!
@Xpost Joker ..get your revisionist phony history out of here...we went from the sick man of asia under marcos to the booming economy we were recently..and with a thriving democracy giving you the freedom to say even fake news like this..you ungrateful child
support Thailand people. dictator should step down, the monarchy should be abolished. people are not their slaves
England also a monarchy... do they need to be abolished too?
the problem is the people in charge... not the monarchy system itself... even a democratic country lead by corrupt stup*d presiden will also become bad... on the other hand if a country led by a monarch (king/queen/sultan/emperor/etc) but the leader is wise... the citizen could prosper
@@estrioleyin5667 i believe all people are born equal.
Estriole Yin the people have change enough!right now some people don’t even have food on there table property is now hitting us in the face we have monarchy and government to listen to the people needs not to eat people taxes and Thrive with there powers people are not slaves to just work for the monarchy and the government and pay taxes for them to just life happy without helping the people in need
@@user-xo3jv8vp9l are you thailand? because i think the core problem with the country was how big tourism industry (12.9% gdp)... and no safety line when such big industry collapse... i think no politician could patch that problem AFTER covid causing the industry to collapse... it should have done before it collapse (creating multiple safety net)... but of course adding the corruption scandal make it worse 🤣.
thailand have coup many times... but never touch the monarchy... because most thai people love their king... and if the people doing coup touch the royal family... they will lose people support and failed their coup... this time because of the covid and tourism industry collapse... the monarch also lost the support of the citizen... but correct me if i'm wrong... the protester demand is to "reform" the monarchy... not "abolish" it...
the protester want to reform to make a cut on palace spending... separation of crown property from king personal asset... not abolishing the monarchy itself...
@@estrioleyin5667 you are an idiot! Nothing to do with tourists. You don't know the facts.... crying out lound
I'm from the USA we stand behind all of you!
DEMOCRACY FOR THE OLIGARCHS??? REALLY????
They must learn from the Philippines.
The EDSA Revolution was not a mistake! The mistake is those who ruled the country after the revolution. Marcos really needed to step down from power because of the countless corruptions. But those who ruled the country after that did worse and nothing has changed since then, we keep electing the same politicians over and over and every single one of them claim that they have the ability and power to change the country.
@@kuyachamp7618 You're right..But Marcoses were not included in the corrupt officials. The truth is.. Liberal Party used the media(tv,newspaper,radio) to apply their propaganda against the government of Marcos. Writing articles and telling people that Marcos committed human rights violations...Just like in the present with President Duterte.. They're using the media for their propaganda about himan rights violation.. Just simple as that..
But People of the Philippines are now enlightened on what's really happened in the 1980s and they(we) don't want to repeat that kind of foolishness..
@@JohnMarkYo Please go to the court and counter PCGG's cases won against the Marcoses, proving that they are indeed corrupt and were forced to return embezzeled cash and other personal items that have been bought using the money of the people. Don't talk if you don't know the law nor studied it, iho.
@@markdeungria6944 Well, show me the evidence!!! Don't you forget that all officials in the government are yellows/liberals and controlled the congress, senate, justice system, and especially the PCGG...That's controlled by the Yellows..
If Marcos really was corrupt, how did he constructed all of the infrastructures that we're still using now? Why can't the Yellows get the Marcoses in prison?
@@JohnMarkYo Iho, the government holds the PCGG. And evidence? The reason why PCGG was able to force the Marcoses to return stolen wealth was because they HAD evidence and the courts ruled accordingly. No, it's not controlled by the "yellows". You are sick in the head if you think the "yellows" control every aspect in this country as you would happen to realize that most of oligarchs in this country are pro-administration.
Another thing, Imelda Marcos was already convicted as a plunderer. The only reason why she is freely walking right now according to Duterte, is because of 'compassion due to her advanced age'. Seriously, please study the law and history properly; not propaganda videos here on TH-cam.
Thailand without king is BETTER
Where is all the media that was obsessed with HK? Why aren't they reporting on Thailand.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Can someone explain what happen to Thailand?
did hongkong move to thailand?
Thai people here in Cambodia we have the same problem but the people are too afraid to speak out hope the best for you

What's the meaning behind the 3 fingers salute? It reminds me of hunger games lol

Is the 3 fingers protest salute was based on hunger games?

@@Darkness-fw4gi look at the history of the Democratic countries, most if not all of them were prosperous before they became democratic
I am starting to see a trend on youtube where people make lazy and ignorant arguments by pointing to Libya and Iraq whenever they hear about pro-democracy protests. No one is calling for an armed insurrection in Thailand. Do you even know what the demands of the Thai people are?

Poor Thai. Friends we've done that before in Philippines when we trust the opposition to fight the government for what we call democracy. Years after, Philippines got worst and worst. Sometimes political oppositions are opportunist. They are just using you all.

@@robinwell4276 oh come on. PCGG never had a solid proof of marcoses corruption. All their cases filed were disregarded by the court, every single one until now.
Oligarch politician that time were very jealous of marcoses that they plotted untrue alligation about him and made the people think he is a dictator. After they threw marcos, were the filipinoes live on much abundant and peaceful life?

country .don't be fooled look what happened to us philippines.1986 Revolution is a big mistake and until now we are still paying for the mistake that some of PILIPINOS did.don't let foreign country meddel in the future of your country. Love from philippines 🇵🇭
Edsa revolution was not a mistake, those who ruled after the revolution was the mistake and nothing has changed since then. The Marcos regime was too much for the country , the Marcoses really needed to step down because if they don't, the country will end up in a civil war and we don't want that don't we? But the people who ruled the country after that was unprepared, oligarchs and the private sector controlled the President and messed up bad.
@@kuyachamp7618 THE 1987 CONSTITUTION ITSELF IS A MISTAKE
@Xpost Joker America had to stand up and request Marcos to step down because the country was really close to dividing into two. Because if we started a civil war, that's where the communists step in. If the US looses Philippines, Southeast Asia might fell to communism.

@@Captain_Of_A_Starship 2 coups in the last 15 years. Ruled by a military regime with a stagnant economy and no real improvement in the Thais standard of living so yea I think the CCP has done more for its people and thats why they have an extremely high approval rating at home. There is no valid reason to break public goods. HKers have been sold the cool aid that they are a better class of Chinese citizens deserving more rights than others.

@ALEXANDER YOUNG The philippines will rise again if one of ferdinand marcos' children is the next president or one of the duterter families becomes president of the philippines! I hope there is no DILAWAN to win as president so as not to be poor because the philippines is rising a bit.

That is Right People. You are doing it right
Honest question: why are they protesting and why do they want the PM to resign?
We need real democracy
First of all, no one is behind the protestor everyone willing to be out there to shape the new future for themselves and get rid of the problems that have been fed on the people and corrupted the country for ages. The protesters have the ideas of their own base on simple right or wrong concept, anyone that has humanity in themselves can easily figure it out.
They lose the election because of election fraud caused by Prayut Chanocha’s party. Not to mention that there are more than enough reasons that this government needs to be taken down including the higher authority person behind it.
Innocent people were killed, captured, the government uses their power to cause the violence against unarmed people and peaceful protest, King scandals (lots of them,this is one of the worst part cuz he’s behind many massacre and violate human rights), taxes have been used for themselves rather than the people quality of living, abuse of laws against people, fake news/hate speech causes hatred in between Thai citizen. If they don't act now all the problems will remain and give them no bright future or no future at all. These are only some major problem but there are still much more.
For more info you can looking up for many foreign news about Thailand on TH-cam, many hashtags on twitter are on trending right ow #whatshappeninginthailand #16ตุลา and many more. Also, you can googled for website by typing what's happening in Thailand there are many reliable new sources and infographic available in most of the social media platform. ( Caution: beware of which sources to trust especially the news published by the government and nation tv they are most likely to be fake.)
