Pro-democracy protests are held in Thailand on the anniversary of the revolution that ended absolute monarchy.
It is 88 years since the revolution in Thailand that resulted in the end of the absolute monarchy and the start of democracy.
But it is the army and the royal palace that define much of Thai politics.
The king by law has few direct powers, but he is very influential.
The prime minister is elected but many Thais question the democratic process. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha took over last year after five years of military rule.
