johnmcc6 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Some news sources are reporting large scale protests in Bangkok against government policies. Nothing so far. in Bangkok post Fake news??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitriv Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 It only took 1 hour. And when looking at the photos there were maybe 1000 people, maybe more. You cannot call it large scale protests. Could it have consequences if you participate in protests as a foreigner? I feel a moral responsibility. Complaining on a forum is useless if you are not willing to contribute on the streets.

I can't find anything apart from reports of the rally earlier today, which was just a thousand or so brave souls. It was publicized well ahead, was widely reported, and certainly could not be described as a large scale protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining on a forum is useless if you are not willing to contribute on the streets. Terrible idea. The presence of well-meaning foreigners opens the protestors to accusations of being funded by foreign powers hostile to Thailand. It is also very likely to lead to problems if you are here on any sort of visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was once a law that said it was illegal to have a coup and seize control of the country.So technically any laws enacted by people who broke that law are null and void.
