BANGKOK: Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and five Cabinet ministers comfortably survived a vote of no-confidence in parliament on Saturday as activists planned more protests against the government.

Recent rallies have turned violent, with security forces using tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets against protesters who threw stones and firecrackers. Authorities reported the largest single-day increase in cases in mid-August with more than 23,000 cases.
