27 Oct 2020 11:19AMBANGKOK: Demonstrators in Thailand have expanded their protests internationally, marching to the German Embassy to appeal to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government to investigate whether Thailand’s king has exercised political power during his extended stays in Bavaria.
A statement from the protest group said they presented a letter to embassy officials asking that Germany investigate whether the king “has conducted Thai politics using his royal prerogative from German soil or not".

Vajiralongkorn’s ability to spend time abroad has been made easier by changes his office sought and received to the current constitution that no longer require him to appoint a regent when away from the kingdom.
In his opening speech, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said he and his government are aware that this is an era of change, pushed by technology.Police arrive outside the German Embassy in central Bangkok, Oct 26, 2020.
