Thailand on Thursday rolled back an emergency decree aimed at ending months of protests against the government and monarchy that had only inflamed anger and brought tens of thousands of people onto Bangkok streets.

Protesters who have given Mr Prayuth a three-day deadline to quit said that withdrawing the measures was not enough.
