Thai protesters planned mass demonstrations on Sunday with convoys of cars to converge on several locations in Bangkok, demanding Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha resign amid rising anger over his government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anti-government protests in recent weeks have resulted in violent clashes after police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon toin front of Prayuth's residence. Authorities say public gatherings are illegal under the COVID-19 emergency.
"The three routes that we plan clearly avoid passing high security areas or sensitive places that can lead to confrontation," said activist Nattawut Saikua, one of the organisers. "We need to maintain the law and keep the peace," Thai police chief Suwat Jangyodsuk told reporters, without specifying whether the police intend to use force.
Thailand's youth-led anti-government protest movement appears have regained momentum and its support has broadened after demonstrations last year attracted hundreds of thousands of people before a crackdown by the authorities.
