Demonstrators in Bangkok, Thailand, march during a Thai anti-government mass protest on the 47th anniversary of the 1973 student uprising. October 14, 2020. have staged rival shows of force with political tension growing after three months of demonstrations.

Despite the brief scuffles, the two sides largely kept apart, but the standoff revived fears of trouble in a country that suffered a decade of street violence between supporters and opponents of the establishment before a 2014 coup. The protests have become the greatest challenge in years to a ruling establishment dominated by the army and the palace.The protest got off to a rocky start after organisers issued a post-midnight call for followers to begin assembling at Democracy Monument at 0100 GMT to assure they could secure the venue for the rally's scheduled 0700 GMT start.
