		</div><p>Thai police and anti-government protesters clashed for a second straight day in Bangkok, as anger over the handling of the coronavirus pandemic continues to simmer.</p>
<p>Police in riot gear fired a water cannon and tear gas to force back about 200 protesters as they approached Government House, where prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has an office.</p>
<p>The organisers called off the rally soon afterwards.</p>
<p>Later, there were more disturbances in the Din Daeng area of the city when a group of young protesters tried to move toward an army base where Mr Prayuth has his residence.</p>
<p>There have been repeated clashes in the built-up urban area in the past 10 days.</p>
<p>The demonstrators are calling for Mr Prayuth’s resignation over his perceived bungling of the government’s coronavirus vaccination programme.</p>
<p>Infections have surged in the past few weeks while vaccination rates remain low.</p>
<p>The protests are also part of a wider push for sweeping political change that includes the resignation of the government, a new constitution and, most contentious of all, fundamental reform of the powerful but opaque monarchy.</p>
