BANGKOK - Thai demonstrators said on Sunday they would petition Germany to investigate King Maha Vajiralongkorn's use of his powers while he has been staying in the European country, as thousands of people again took to the streets of Bangkok.
A march is planned on Monday to the German embassy amid calls by protesters for curbs on the king's powers in what have become the biggest anti-establishment protests in years. The king has spent most of this year in Germany. Protests which began in July to remove Prayuth, a former army ruler, have increasingly demanded change to the monarchy too, with protesters saying it has helped enable decades of military domination of politics.
The prime minister's office posted a note on Twitter on Sunday to say Prayuth was not quitting. Thailand's crisis is due to be discussed in parliament on Monday and Tuesday.
