Thai protesters hit streets as PM clings to power

BANGKOK

More than 300 demonstrators marched in central Bangkok’s main shopping mall district carrying red flags and wearing ponchos in the downpour.

“The government should be gone. If things were good why would we come out to protest?” said a 28-year-old demonstrator.

Ahead of the rally, police used shipping containers to block major routes to the advertised protest site at the central Lumpini Park where protesters had planned to march.
