Hundreds of people gather in downtown Bangkok at a carnival-like protest against Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha currently facing a four-day censure debate culminating with a vote testing confidence Saturday in the parliament. The protest called by UFTD, a student-lead group, occupies Ratchaprasong, a shopping mall area with various activities and groups of protesters merging there. The protest is smaller than in the previous months but Attapon Buapat, a protest leader, says the "objective is to create a safe space for demonstrations" as the kingdom is struggling with its worse outbreak of coronavirus. Various anti-government protesters have expressed their anger at the government's handling of the pandemic and demand the resignation of the former coup leader. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
