Anti-government protesters held a colourful art show rally in Bangkok, Thailand, today (October 29).

Thousands of supporters of the pro-democracy movement converged on the Silom Road area of the Thai capital for the latest demonstration. It took place outside the Sri Maha Mariamman Buddhist temple, or Wat Khaek, as it is also known.

Two other protests were held in the city - one at the offices of the pro-establishment Nation Multimedia Group and another at the Pathum Wan Intersection where police fire water cannons in a previous demonstration.

The rally comes after thousands of protesters marched to the German Embassy in Bangkok on Monday (October 26) calling for an investigation into the Thai king's affairs. He has been accused of illegally ruling from foreign soil during his extended stays in Germany.

The Thailand anti-government protests started with small groups of student activists but have grown in recent weeks.

Protesters are calling for democratic reforms, constitutional changes and the resignation of the prime minister.
