Many demonstrators are occupying parts of the intersection and the Skywalk over Ratchaprasong. Today's protest is billed as a "warmup" to the march from Samyan district to the German Embassy tomorrow. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThaiand #Thailand #KE
The protest is getting lively now at Ratchaprasong Intersection. Demonstrators are calling for PM Prayut Chan-o-cha's resignation, a more democratic charter, and reforms of the monarchy. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThaiand #Thailand #KE
Police are telling the protesters to disperse by 5pm as they did not notify the authorities of their gathering beforehand. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThaiand #Thailand

The atmosphere of the anti-government rally at the Ratchaprasong Intersection is a mix of protests and carnivals. Many sing, eat food, and listen to speeches. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThaiand #Thailand #KE
The rally tonight at Ratchaprasong has no stage or only 1 group of speakers. Instead, protesters form circles around anyone who wants to speak – a key feature of the "leaderless" protests adopted in recent days. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThaiand #Thailand #KE
There are probably 9-10 impromptu speech circles like this at tonight's protest, similar to the famed "Speakers' Corner" at Hyde Park in London. (Fun fact: to "hyde park" in Thai means to speak at a political gathering) #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThaiand #Thailand #KE
The topics range from lambasting the government to discussing social issues and raising awareness about feminism like the one shown here. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThailand #Thailand #KE
There's also a K-pop dance-off, just for the heck of it. K-pop fans make a sizeable portion of the pro-democracy movement; some fandoms also raise millions of baht in donation for the protests. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThailand #Thailand #KE
Khaosod English twitter admin's face when they finally realize they have been misspelling the hashtag #WhatshappeninginThailand for hours.....
A reminder that tonight's protest is just a prelude to the highly anticipated demonstration set to take place tomorrow – from Samyan neighborhood to the German Embassy on Sathorn Road. #ม็อบ25ตุลา #whatshappeninginThailand #Thailand #KE
