JAKARTA - Large demonstrations demanding the abolition of the monarchy system in Bangkok, Thailand will be held again tomorrow. The Thai police force will deploy nearly six thousand members.
Launching Reuters, Tuesday, November 24, the police will guard the course of the demonstration so that the demonstrators do not penetrate the Crown Property Bureau Building. The building is known to have become a gathering place for mass counter-rallies defending the monarchy system.
Deputy Chief of Police for Bangkok, Piya Tavichai, called this the biggest challenge. The police, said Piya Tavichai, must be able to separate the two groups so that the action can be peaceful.
"Depending on how the protesters behave, we will take the appropriate action," he said.
Not only the police are on standby. The mass group calling itself FreeYouth has also garnered a lot of support to take to the streets via the social media Twitter. They revealed that the action was taken to regain power that actually belongs to the people.

Previously, at last week's demonstration, 50 people were reportedly injured due to police repressive actions. They used water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters.
Even so, many demonstrators survived. They provided duck buoys to ward off police attacks.
In their demands, the protesters are demanding the abolition of the monarchy system in Thailand. At the same time, the protesters also stirred messages that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha should resign because he was a former leader of the military junta.
