Thailand has since been declared a state of emergency ever since 15th October 2020 after thousands of anti-government protesters surrounded the prime minister’s office demanding greater democracy and less power for the monarchy.

Despite that fact that authorities have banned gatherings of five or more people which will result in arrests, Bangkok continues to be full of protesters at the time of writing.
