Thailand is in the grip
of a youthful uprising.

Inspired by Hong Kong,
students armed with umbrellas

and ideals have been
taking on a military

backed government and
a

once untouchable monarch.

What we are seeing
here is an epic battle

between two competing
visions for Thailand.

These youngsters are determined
that their demands for reform of

everything, including the monarchy,
or both heard and acted on.

And they are up against
an establishment that

is determined to keep Thailand
stable, conservative and with the

monarchy and military
at the very top.

Over the 20 years I have been
reporting from Thailand, there have

been to Constance.

An army that won't
state of politics...

..and a revered
monarchy whose actions

cannot be questioned.

Even today, the laws
here limit what we can

safely say about the royal family.

King Vajiralongkorn,
who came to the throne four

years ago, is on paper
a

constitutional monarch.

Like Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

In reality, though,
he has far more power.

And he's been using
it in alarming ways.

Some Thais fear he wants
to take the country back to

the absolute monarchy
of his forefathers

when the king's word
was

the law.

Palm is a 21-year-old student
on her way to yet another

protest in Bangkok's
old royal quarter.

We have come to Democracy Monument,
which marks the end of the

absolute monarchy 88 years ago.

The democracy it promised
never took root here.

This is an outspoken generation,
informed and mobilized

through social media.

Taking the hunger games
salute as their own

symbol of defiance.

They want the king's power
to be accountable, and

they want the freedom to speak out
without the threat of reprisals.

Palm reminds the crowd
of the incident which helped

to unite these protests
back in June.

The abduction and presumed
murder in Cambodia of

an exiled activist
called Wanchalearm.

Wanchalearm's sister Jen
is here too, trying to

keep up the public
interest in his case.

Jen was talking on the phone
to her brother when he was dragged

off the street and into a black SUV.

Wanchalearm had fled to Cambodia
after the coup seven years ago, and

kept up a barrage of cheeky social
media posts parodying Thailand's

military and rulers.

He was the ninth exiled
activist to disappear

in the past four years.

The mutilated bodies
of two of them were

discovered on the banks
of the River Mekong.

All of them were known critics
of the monarchy, driving

home the dangers of speaking
out on this issue.

Thailand's rapid transformation
into a modern, urban

nation has brought
impressive prosperity.

But also created one of the world's
most unequal societies.

A bolder, more inquiring young
generation is no questioning how and

why their country has
turned out like this.

Here, Palm is leaving a letter
writing campaign directed at

the King.

Demanding that he accept limits
on his wealth and power.

Change, though, is not
welcomed by all.

Royalism has many
passionate adherents here.

They are now mobilizing
to take on the student

movement.

Dressed in Royal yellow,
holding aloft portraits of the king

and his much loved father.

King Bhumibol, or Rama IX,
reigned for 70 years.

But achieved cult-like
popularity with his modest

lifestyle and a strong
sense of duty.

His son is a very
different personality.

But in this crowd, respect
for the institution endures.

They can't accept all the
accusations they've heard against

the king.

Why don't you support their demand
for a monarchy that's

just a bit limited to,
and then you will be giving them

what they say they want?

That's not the only obstacle
to the student's dreams of

reform.

Beyond this barricade
is Thailand's Parliament.

It's packed with military loyalists.

It is the only place
where changes to the

political system can happen,
and right now they can't get there.

Well, these protesters are now
trying to pull away at this concrete

barricade to make a way through.

And they are spraying...

Oh!

Water cannons laced with chemicals.

You can really smell
the tear gas in it.

These protesters want to get
through to Parliament,

because that's where the reforms
they are demanding are

supposed to be discussed.

They are worried
that in a parliament

dominated by the military backed
party, their reforms are just going

to be swept aside.

That's why they are staying put.

And you can see how
determined they are.

But they are fighting
a formidable establishment

which has ruled Thailand for most
of the past century.

How can they overcome
such entrenched power?

As they feared to
come of the old man

As they feared, the old man

of parliament, many of them
on elected senators, threw out

all but the mildest reforms.

While outside it was chaos.

The activists had brought up
giant inflatable ducks to

shield themselves from the water
cannon and to ridicule the police.

The ducks made another appearance
outside Thailand's largest bank.

The ducks made another appearance
outside Thailand's largest bank.

The king is the main shareholder.

Palm was there too,
sporting a new haircut.

But in targeting the king
so directly, they are taking a

serious risk.

Not so much from the police
who stayed well back this

time, but behind them
is the king and the Thai

army which is sworn
to

defend the monarchy above all else.

That partnership
is even tighter now.

This monarch sees himself
as a warrior king, and he's folded

some of the best military units
into his

own personal Royal guard.

Palm has not been
arrested yet, but many

other protesters have the.

Palm has not been

She has come here
tonight to meet one of

them.

Who is also a bit of a hero,
not just to her but to many young

activists.

Hockey is founder member of the band
Rap Against Dictatorship.

Tonight, he is reliving his arrest
after he'd performed

at a protest in July.

CHEERING

CHEERING.

CHEERING.

He makes light of it here,
but the charge is sedition.

That's up to seven years in jail.

Hockey is one of more
than 40 activists charged

under this sweeping
national security law.

Others are being prosecuted
under the notorious lese

majeste law, with its secret trials
and even tougher sentences.

Most have been released
on bail, but only

to face even more charges.

# Yeah.

These are the kinds of injustices
Rap Against Dictatorship

featured in their first withering
song Prathet ku mi, what my

country's got.

Which captured the rebellious
mood of this generation.

The song has been viewed more
than 90 million times on YouTube.
