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 arrested yet, but many

other protesters have the.

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

Which captured the rebellious mood of this generation.

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