Yes, don't want the Thai's catching any of this protest stuff.

And passengers were met and greeted by protesters at the airport with signs explaining their grievances in a number of languages, their arrivals were barely disrupted.

Quite stirring to hear " do you hear the people sing" from Les Miserables in a Chinese.version.

Maybe there is a Thai version?

Maybe the real fear is the Thai's will learn how to really protest and stand up for their rights.

They are already there, at least 2 have been found to be part of the gang beating people up

I wonder who’s side Thai govt is on—ChiComs or Taiwan (the democracy)?

They sent Joshua Wong to Thailand a couple of years ago. He got the boot for intending to work on a tourist visa. Into detention and returned on the next flight back to HK.

Not by the gutless Thai men it won't but the Thai women may learn from it and take action.
