'These two regiments have been involved in cracking down on people in the past,' said prominent protest leader Parit 'Penguin' Chiwarak. 'They have also played key roles in past coups.' The black-clad protesters wore hair clips with yellow rubber ducks, while those on the frontlines donned gas masks and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tua du lịch thái lan] helmets - prepared for any potential skirmishes with authorities.

'Their duty should be to protect the people.' Protesters folded into paper planes a 'people's declaration' - which called for the regiments to be transferred back - and flew them across the barriers to the stone-faced police. They also threw red paint at the feet of the police to signify the security forces' role in violent crackdowns on previous pro-democracy movements, before rallygoers dispersed at about 10pm. The military has long positioned itself as a defender of Thailand's enormously wealthy royal family, who boast assets conservatively estimated to be some $30-$60 billion. In the name of protecting the king, the army has staged more than a dozen coups since the end of absolute monarchy in 1932. The most recent was in 2014. Coup mastermind General Prayut Chan-O-Cha was head of a junta regime before renewing his lease on power in elections last year, which were governed under a military-scripted constitution.
