Thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators rallied in central Bangkok on Wednesday, a day after a chaotic protest outside parliament was marred by violence that left 55 people injured.

Tuesday’s protest had been held to encourage legislators to approve a motion that would lead to substantive constitutional change, including measures to limit the power of the monarchy.
