Thousands of mainly young Thais were back on the streets of Bangkok for another day of protests, demanding sweeping political change, with demonstrations also taking place at several other locations around the country.

Pro-democracy protesters gather at Victory Monument in Bangkok, Thailand, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020. Thai police on Sunday declined to say whether they were taking a softer approach toward student anti-government demonstrations, after several mass rallies attracting thousands of protesters ended peacefully in Bangkok on Saturday.

The demonstrators, who are protesting despite a state of emergency banning them from doing so, received a new warning from police that they are violating the law. On Saturday, however, few people had been arrested as peaceful rallies were held at several points around Bangkok, the capital, with several thousand taking part.

On Sunday, rallies were called in at least a dozen provinces, including Chiang Mai, a popular tourist destination in northern Thailand. Social media spread the word, though the government said it would seek legal action against accounts posting details of planned protests. The larger rally in Bangkok was held at Victory Monument, a popular meeting point that anchors a traffic circle on a main thoroughfare. The atmosphere there was jumpy due to occasional rumors that police had been spotted nearby.

The authorities earlier tried in vain to keep people from gathering by selectively shutting down stations on Bangkok’s elevated and underground mass transit lines. On Saturday, after protest organizers had urged followers to meet at the city’s Skytrain stations, the authorities ordered all stations to be closed, to little avail.
