Anti-government demonstrators at Victory Monument demand Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's resignation and her coalition partners' withdrawal.
The protests are fueled by a leaked recording where PM Paetongtarn allegedly made subservient remarks to Cambodian leader Hun Sen and disparaged a Thai military commander.
Protesters accuse the Thai PM of being "too soft," eager to please Hun Sen, and a "traitor" based on the controversial statements in the recording.
The demonstration saw large crowds, who braved heavy rain to continue criticizing the government and expressing their discontent.
