He called the protest on Friday after moves to ban his Future Forward party, which has emerged as the most vocal challenger to the government of former military ruler Prayuth Chan-ocha.

“This is just the beginning,” Thanathorn told the crowd. “Today is a show of strength so that in future others may join us. We’re just here today as a test run. Prayuth, don’t be afraid yet. The real thing is next month.”
