Thai Progressive Movement and Ratsadon leaders, alongside Myanmar supporters, protested the coup at the Myanmar embassy in Bangkok, demanding the unconditional release of NLD leaders and immediate restoration of democracy.
Protesters urged ASEAN to actively support democratic rule in the region, aligning with the bloc's charter on human rights and democratic principles.
Thai anti-riot police were deployed to manage the protest, eventually dispersing the demonstrators after scuffles involving thrown objects, clearing the road in front of the embassy.
Thailand's government maintained a neutral stance, with the Prime Minister remaining silent and his deputy labeling the coup a "domestic affair," while the Foreign Ministry expressed hopes for a peaceful resolution.
