I think there will not be any violence at all, and i am willing to bet on it. I will be willing to bet that there wont be any violence this year for sure. With violence I mean a mass uprising that will oust the junta and the elite. Because that is the scenario many dream up.

 

I am not sure such an event has ever happened in Thailand and given the willingness to protest I doubt it will happen. You might think its bad here but its not. It would have to become a lot worse before anything happens. It might happen if the economy turns sour. 

 

I think the uprising is a wishful thinking of the foreigners who view the injustice but fail to see that the Thais don't care as much (only those benefiting care like politicians) because they know in reality id does not matter that much. 

 

Just my opinion of course, next time ask your neighbor if they are willing to kill and die to bring Thaksin back. I doubt they will. 

 

What exactly do you think happened in:

Some political parties have suggested Prayut should cancel his upcoming trip as they regard the visits as campaigning for himself and the parties that support him. 

Duh! But the worst part of it is the fact that he is using tax payer money to campaign.

Errm the audience he is targeting Don't pay no tax

Saraburi is hardly "upcountry" - try Lanna and Isaan but he would need to be a brave man!!
