Thai police have fired water cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets at anti-government protesters in Bangkok.
The crowds marched towards an army base that is home to the prime minister’s residence, demanding his resignation over what they say is his failure to handle the coronavirus pandemic.

People have the rigth to be angry.
Even more happier if money paid as promised for the job.
COVID IS THE WEAPON USED AGAINST THE PEOPLE. THIE IS GLOBALLY. ITS A SILENT WEAPON FOR A SILENT WAR.
Riots in the middle of pandemic , yeah right.
omg !!!!
God is wact …….
Antigoverment ! you shoot people with rubber and forcing lockdowns for a less then 5% death rate and you wanna call that antigoverment more like anti freedom going on here madness ….. fk this news station part of the problem here
I find it really funny they want the American vaccine and not the Chinese hehe
This is bad.
thailand need absolute monarchy
No, they don’t.
No monarchy is what they need
Wtf are you even talking about??
WW2 German helmets are popular with motorbikers in Thailand. No statement being made. They’re just bling.
So?
And I know your girlfriend 😂
US media covered protests in Cuba and said they wanted to bomb the island but protests in Colombia and Thailand have gone on for months and not a word from US media about it.
True
😂👉 Tankie
Except it does. Thai protests is on international news for a year already.
Perhaps it’s the political ties between USA and Cuba
maybe because they have more cultural and historical relations with Cuba than the others? also lol at tankie
USA, Australia, UK, Canada, etc don’t have any comments on this 🤣🤣🤣. They try to be fighters of democracy but it’s so clear they are just creating propoganda against Russia, Belarus, Cuba, China and North Korea. That’s why their own people are brought up to be stupid to believe their fake media 🤣🤣🤣
Pro american lgbt protestors must be jailed
Good
We more of this everywhere. Stop the lockdowns globally.
Governments are Lock down all over the country!!! But no money for help WTF They’re did.
It’s not anti lockdown protest. It’s protest calling for democracy.
Potert for vaccines, They’re need quality vaccines!!! Governments was some secret whit china vaccines from China so low quality.
King familys and government selling vaccines for our peoples 😥 its so bad ?
Another filthy junta murdering people day by day backed by China
Another liar of prayuts
The junta are selling donated vaccines
Good job
The similarity between Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia..they all higher covid infection with political turmoil
Also US and UK
More like the rest of world
So you have no idea that governments are using SARS as an excuse to crush the middle class and get a firmer grip of control?
Also indo
smh, so sad!
NED/NGO strike again.
Rubber-coated STEEL bullets. How many times do you need to be reminded? This is what you need to call them when you cover the actions of Israeli troops and of the police in the United States and elsewhere.
Watch “the new atlas” to get different perspective from people in Thailand.
They Invite People to Burning Thai king palace And King Temple Today.And Police Officer was Attack by mob first .This mob is not protest for the vaccine
Very obvious CP Holdings is bossing Prayut to keep buying Sinovac. CP Holdings and Prayut might call Xi to “help”
More like Thai king enjoying selling his vaccine instead of giving to his people.
Insallah this will be endia
Sick person of sick religion
i dont think military junta are coup for their benefit for thai people because thailand`s king is out of control he cannot rule for thailand so military general need to contorl it .be strong thailand love from myanmar🇲🇲🇹🇭 fight your democracy
@jeannedeorleans It’s funny, Protester retaliate by real gun. Victim almost DIE.
This isn’t right
Thai people( democracy )want to said thank you for your thinking.
@Devil Dog What real gun? They use sling shot and bottle. Nobody almost die.
@jeannedeorleans yes you guys just destroy the country .Think about that half of the country just not support what you guy do
@jirawat liw That mean other half do.
Guys you don’t want the vaccine
Thais have finally woken up and realize their King and govt do not give two shits about them. Vajiralongkorn is too busy banging hookers in Germany to worry about the deaths in Thailand, while the military govt is too busy siphoning off money from the remaining bank accounts of the public’s taxes.
This is stupid protest ever in thailand, Start by fake news and Hate speech.
Thailand unsettled many. Let’s not forget Thailand is a major non-NATO ally, a long-standing ally of the United States for 200 years, while at the same time very close to Russia and China. Probably its international image is far bigger and more sophisticated. The current King of Thailand is quite terrible, but as long as these countries keep backing this monarch, nothing will change.
Righteous lips find favor with the king,
he loves the one who speaks honestly.
The unvaccinated, to the vulnerable, are like dump trucks, speeding down the road at night, no lights, no breaks, no empathy, and no wisdom
@cvcoco The risks from getting the vaccine are far less than not getting the vaccine, especially if you are younger than 60 and not immune-compromised. Evidence shows Ivermectin could be beneficial for those who get sick, and mainstream medicine should be pursuing this. However there ineptitude on this cannot be used as an excuse not to take the vaccine so as to protect others.
@cvcoco I don’t believe there is a safe vaccine. My ex got polio from the vaccine. But the vaccine did save lives even though a few people did die. I am 72, but reasonably healthy, so I made sure I was in good condition and got both shots. Slept a few extra hours for a few days but still was able to work. If you are healthy and avoid partying for a week before and a week after, the vaccine will have negligible effect on you. And you will not be putting others at risk. Penn State has just developed a device that duplicates a dog’s nose and can detect covid from sweat. They got $2 mil from National Health Institute to downsize it so it can be a hand held device. This will allow anti-vaccers to self quarantine before the infection become contagious. Should be out in two years (1 year of that red tape) I am working to get it manufactured elsewhere to shorten the time needed to get it to the public.
This is happening in many countries right now, people are angry for not being able to go to work and earn a living. People want to be safe from Covid but at the same time there is family to feed, like a double edge sword, either ways going to hurt.
take both jabs.
All the Problems came from Thailand King Rama10 He was selling dead vaccines for our peoples and his sister selling another brand vaccine too Damm they’re background for government !!! For Real
Just wanna telling the world how Evil they’re |||
If I have to guess, USA has something to do with it.
And you guess is wrong, it’s people fighting against military dictatorship.
@jeannedeorleans What kind of military dictatorship. Can you provide some more background information? It is always vague when it comes to USA propaganda.
@Souleaf No Military seize power 7 years ago from elected government, they then draft extremely bias constitution that shamelessly favor military backed party.
Yup President Trump is going back anytime! Thailand gov’t is not very happy about that.
If you didn’t suck so much you would not have protesters period
Hate! is on top in every country against covid restrictions,
If this is a pandemic then please pass the Ebola.
This has a survival rate of 99.98%.
Our rights and freedoms are being stripped away all in the name of public safety.
At least Ebola virus is a real pandemic.
99 percent death rate and the 1 percent that survives probably wish that they were dead.
People should be well in formed that a protest movement is a possible super spreader in itself.
If only one person has the now very transmissible delta variant there will be a serious surge of infections right there.
Therefore it should also follow basic safety protocols, like wearing of mask/face shield, social distancing, avoid physical contact and personal hygiene.
People must think safety first.
One other thing, people should protest less and give supports and ideas to their government leaders to fight the virus.
There is no book on how to fight covid19 so all governments around the world, even the governments from well developed nations, are actually in the dark on how to proceed.
And it’s every government first case of having such a pandemic.
So, don’t protest; please, help and be part of the solution.
And I hope the people are not joining such protest just so they have something to post in social media.
Because that’s just wrong.
God Bless Always.🙏🙏🙏
You know that these people are literally fighting against military dictatorship, right? It’s not anti lock down protest, it’s protest calling for democracy.
There is oil in thailand
The truth is this is a mob not the protest didn’t have the coward leaders because they chose to stay home. You call people entered US Captital a Riot but you call this a Protester? Such a liar US backed media.
You know that the police fired at peaceful protest so they retaliated, right?
Thanks India for creating Indian variant
😂😂😂😂
Dude, what context is this on the video?
@mmr ngn 😂😂😂
What happens when the controllers get outnumbered and out forced?
Change.
Support the Thai people. Their military government is a failure. They want true democracy ..Spend the money on your people. Not submarines and the military. The King is also a perverted farce.
The thai protest is about finances, not other elements of the pandemic. No country has the ability to pay people but at the same time, if a govt is going to force lockdowns it better have SOME way of keeping life together otherwise you get this. As Gerald Celente said, when people have nothing left to lose, they lose it.
Again? You western lover never know when to stop? How about the fact, go to the New Atlas Channel, or to TOP News Channel you Western Slaves.
Yeah, go to New Atlas Channel, the one run by known conspiracy theorist banned by Facebook and Twitter for financial link to Russian propaganda agency, TOTALLY go to that channel. LOL.
@jeannedeorleans Yeah, FY you west scm, He never receive any fund. He have a job in my country you B, but I guess you western know nothing ya? Because your country never tell you the truth, and only people inside Thailand know what truly happen.
*Spoiler Alert*
This movement already failed, Majority of Thai peoples (plus some foreigner) now hate them and want to expel them to their “Dream Country”, imprison them for eternity, or kill them for their action. But the law forbidden us to do so. If not, they’re already dead because we’re not going to spare any of those FK.
Now they tried to use you all to allow the invasion to happen, since this movement already failed, they need a reason for foreigner intervention, which they doing their work just fine, and western media (included the puppet states media) are on their side, so that’s why there’s no true report from the other side, only from the “movement” side, only to fooled you to support their end goal.
@jeannedeorleans You know it, people will never accept someone like you and your “government”, when the law fall, you will see.
@FootstepOfDestiny LoL, cute.
@jeannedeorleans Actually, it already happened, you west lover. Phuket is an example of what about to come to your “peaceful” protesters.
Hopefully they storm the Palace and hang the king👌👌👍👍😁😁 down with monarchy 😡😡 America supports 🙏🙏🙌🙌👍👍
Don’t blame your government , chii na must be held accountable for this wuhan virus . Every country should boycott ch*na
People waking up
Democracy is myth just like equality…..
When?
So many asymptomatic cases.
Guys, calm down. over in Malaysia, we have almost 20,000 cases a day but we don’t go protesting because we know that our government is trying their best and if we protest, It will only make the governments job harder. The more you protest, the harder it is for the government to do what you want them to do.
@Justine Zheng yi 🦮
It’s better to stop all restrictions and move on with life.
@Justine Zheng yi Show the World your Proof!!! American Propaganda Funded by American Military Industrial Complex, Falun Gong and Evangelical Church, just for Starters!!!
@Justine Zheng yi By the way, China is a Meritocracy System, Socialist/Capitalist Country! America is a run by the Oligarchs, run by the Richest 1%, for the Richest 1%!!!
@Justine Zheng yi USA has no abuse cases? Wake up!
The police fired rubber bullets to the protestors even before the meeting time. International standard dur!
Cia fingerprints all over this. Thailand has been moving to a closer China and away from USA
No. I’m a protester. Change came from within. The nepotism, cronyism and corruption had been unbearable too long, but people were too molded into sheep by society and the educational system to question the status quo. What triggered the revolution of mindsets was the dissolution of the progressive Future Forward party and the assassination of Wanchalerm, an exile critic of the government.
Democracy Monument near the Grand Palace is useless if the country was ruled by a Military Dictatorship
Ganyan mangyayari sa pinas pag hindi pa tinangal si duque at domingo
play your cards right
Petrol bombs to police🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Guarantee America has their grubby hands in this, CIA, NED, ETC, as they did in Hong Kong!!!
The vaccine is the poison. Go to bitchute.
Corona = Crown
Thailand demonstrators are violent rioters with anti-government propaganda led by USA. Thai people must NOT be tricked into HK style illegal protests.
😂
Every where there is PANDEMIC, not just Thailand. Thai people must be patient, like everyone else in the world. It is not easy to be a government.
Corrupt government and it’s force against it’s own people. People asking Vaccine and resignation of PM. but got free teargas, rubber bullets and jail.
Police Fake The bad Government in Thailand Phayuth Jan -O -Cha Get-Out
Infidels indeed. Same treatment as that in Malaysia and Myanmar, but Malaysians dont even protest even when the gov’s starving people to death, refusing job or economy compensations. These thailand-ers needa learn from Malaysia, keep the rich, the royalties, the cronies while shoving the rest in poverty over the south china sea, kicking out foreign media, and enforcing totalitarianism. Then even if there are bad stuffs, no one will report and no one will care.
Why is one Protester interviewed by Al Jazeera wearing a bogus Union Jack face mask? How well has the UK done handling the Pandemic? One of the worst in the world? Do they really think Western system à good example.
Philippians 4:6–7
6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
sb usa
Lol, thai men sound like women 😂
Hi to all the conspiracy theorists and IO trying to boost the narrative that foreign countries have anything to do with that. We’re big enough to start a revolution on our own. Go back to your tin foil hats
People need vaccines goodThe Thai government gave ineffective vaccines and injected them, causing people to die.The military government has banned the distribution of pictures of the dead on the streets. Military government delays COVID-19 Doctors, nurses work hard Public health is falling apart. Please help Thailand
Same like condition in indo
Glad To See Chinese Rule of Law Being Practiced and Implemented in Australia ,France , Europe and Globally . Welcome To Communism ..Democracy Is a Fairy Tale
What’s going on? All over the world people are protesting and nothing. An authority that is theoretically elected democratically does not obey its sovereign society. The authorities have been telling us for over 1.5 years that they are doing it for our good. Who are the people of power serving, because they certainly don’t listen to us.
