In recent weeks, the capital city has witnessed rallies calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who took power in a 2014 coup and won disputed elections last year, the BBC reported.

Prayut added that he had already instructed police to be cautious and lenient in dealing with the young protesters.
