Is it possible nothing will happen? Will it be added to the huge pile already swept under the rug?

As the Thai economy tanks these protests will ramp up.
My fear is, if that the economy tanks and protests ramp up, the government will bring out it's new American tanks

I do not love everything about Thailand ... but I think Thai Visa has become an "over the top" dark corner where xenophobic, racist, and unfair comparisons drive the site. I am trying harder to chill out and take responsibility ... no one puts a gun to my head and makes me read the replies ... but it is like driving past a car accident ... you sort of "have" to look.
By the way ... here is a new word for you: "Analogy"
I agree that Tv forums are overly filled with negative comments, and I usually avoid making them. I was not agreeing with the previous commenter, but pointing out your suggestion to leave is too simplistic and fails to address any problems at all. It is, as you complained earlier, “an unfair comparison”.
I know you were trying to make an analogy, but you failed. Comparing something as complex as a nation, a culture, and a government, to visiting a restaurant is simply a bad analogy. But the prefix of the term seems fitting in describing your personality.-

Your comparison of a Nation to a restaurant is illogical, but hey dude I get your point... Only say nice things about Thailand and pretend any shortcomings don't exist. That way the country won't have to develop or progress. Sabai sabai

Maybe it's because your going to moan about how much BETTER Thailand is when you get there.
“You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it.”-

If it's such a bad place why waste your time living here. Life is too short to have to put up with staying somewhere you hate, why not try the Philippines or Cambodia.
There are plenty of other places you can look at without waking up each day and having so much hate instilled in your day. Your adding of emoticons such as this one only solidifies this hatred.
Be happy each day .... not sad ... ????
I think Steven must be drinking the “happy” Koolaid.

Immigration officers just showed up at our door. First visit, in over 5 years residency.
They said immigration boss wants pictures of all Americans and their passports because " war with Iran". Not sure if this is a good thing or...

Every interaction I have had with KBank has been shockingly dismal. I can't imagine wanting to bank there. Bangkok Bank is a far better service provider

With each passing day, Thailand seems more like Cambodia (except without the English language skills). There is so little effort to even appear democratic or fair.

... and when nobody wants to buy Thailand's rice, due to the overvalued baht, the government will buy it all and then they will have done everything they accused Yindluck government of doing (wasting money on high speed rail, buying votes, subsidising rice farmers, demonstrated incompetence...). The only thing that will be different, is the loss of a meaningful democracy.

Wuhan virus expected to hit Thai and Asian tourism hard

Tat will use this as the reason the tourist Industry is down, ignoring all the losses prior to the virus’s arrival. It will be the catch-all excuse for every negative downturn.
