The run followed a political rally last month staged by prominent opposition figure Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.
Thousands of Thais participated on Sunday in a run billed as an anti-government protest, in what appeared to be the biggest show of dissent against the government of former junta leader Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha.
The run followed a political rally last month staged by prominent opposition figure Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit , the largest since a 2014 coup when then-army chief Prayuth seized power from a civilian government. He dismissed concerns that the run could spark violent protests like those that have roiled the Thai capital periodically and culminated in 2006 and 2014 coups.
