Bangkok – Thousands of democracy activists marched on Thailand’s police headquarters in Bangkok on Wednesday, defacing the compound walls with brightly coloured paint, a day after chaotic protests left more than 50 injured.

The kingdom has been rocked by months of protests demanding constitutional reform, the removal of Prime Minister Prayut Chan- o- cha and even changes to the untouchable monarchy. Protesters – about 20 000 according to an AFP estimate – packed a major intersection in the heart of Bangkok’s shopping and commercial district. They marched on the heavily defended national police headquarters – led by a clown and a parade of giant inflatable rubber ducks. –
