A SPECIAL PRESENTATION THE KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH IN THAILAND’S POLITICAL UPHEAVAL
These Are Key Players to Watch in Thailand’s Political Upheaval
Thailand is besieged by the biggest anti-government protests in years with a youth-driven movement declaring every participant as a leader. That’s making it tough for authorities to wear down the pop-up demonstrations calling for the government’s ouster and monarchy reforms.


King Maha Vajiralongkorn
At the apex of power in Thailand, King Maha Vajiralongkorn has been consolidating his power and wielding his authority more overtly since taking the throne in 2016. Vajiralongkorn’s wealth, in particular, has become a source of resentment, 
Prayuth Chan-Ocha
The face of the current administration, Prayuth is a former army chief who took power after a 2014 coup. His military government appointed a panel to draft the current constitution, which protesters view as instrumental in helping Prayuth retain his power after the 2019 general elections


Youth Groups
The protesters are banded together under different groups, such as Free Youth and United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration, which use social media platforms such as the Facebook, Twitter and Telegram to mobilize on short notice.


Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit is among the most vocal critics of Prayuth’s administration and the government footing monarchy’s budget. He lost to Prayuth in the vote to elect the prime minister last year, and his political party was disbanded by court order for breaking financing rules
Arnon Nampa
Lawyer Arnon Nampa was the first protest leader to openly question the monarchy’s role in Thai politics. His call for the monarchy’s powers to be reined in became the catalyst for the protest movement even though criticisms of top royals are punishable by up 15 years in prison.
