Get rid of the current Government and go back to the Red V Yellow stalemate when it was one side in power and the other side out on the streets demonstrating ?

  Thailand beat the Corona virus by having a strong Government  , other Countries failed in the fight against Corona, due to having democracies and the Government scared to act because of not wanting to lose votes in the next elections 

An so it begins again, keep it up.

I do partly agree with what you say but I'd not call this a "strong" Government, more an authoratitive one. And of course losing votes doesn't concern Prayut and Prawit as they weren't elected anyway and they have ways of finding votes if they need them!

as well as ignoring the outcome of any election so far

Spoiler:  It's a carefully monitored group by the government to create a veil of free speech.

or an undercover gouverment official

ThaiVisa/The Nation taking the Govt. line re the 'hundreds' of students!     Reuters say 2,500!!!!   The official line being to try and down-play any sign of opposition.

I can understand their frustration,but Marxist(Professors/Tutors)tutored students in America and the UK are being used and sponsored by evil,very wealthy people to do their dirty work, sponsoring mainly young people to riot(BLM/gullible young white people} and change democratically elected governments and take everything else back to hundreds of years ago,so that their ultra wealthy sponsors can eventually become the few masters and make even more billions,looks like their cash has arrived here as well.

Worst possible timing to form a mob. Methinks this could end badly

In what way am I brainwashed .

Prayrut made quick tough decisive decisions , Both Boris Johnson and Trump didnt want to upset the electorate and lose future votes .

  BJ was more concerned about photo opportunities in hospitals and being seen as a Churchill type leader, rather than actually concentrating on  defeating the virus .

  Prayruts concern was eliminating the virus , rather than getting voters support

"He also advised those planning to gather to follow related rules, including precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus"

 

What virus? The Coronavirus that the Government assure us is no longer here, and hasn't been here for 25 days? (Apart from the Egyptian soldier that this predominantly military Government let into the country without quarantine, and then let him go walkabout in Rayong?)

 

Or the virus that will spread hope amongst the people for a proper Democracy, and hope for the future, instead of a continual State of Emergency and  threat of imprisonment for disagreeing with the government?

Is Corvid currently rife in Thailand or has the virus been eliminated ?

 

If only they knew considering its not a democratic government they have done very well if you look at the state of so called 1st World countries that suck the blood in a form of taxes and Vat and are only declining in everyway,  in Thailand only a fraction pay taxes compared to the population so all in all it shows the people in power have done very well , atleast they have not done a BLM style protest and well done the people in power ????

"the people in power have done very well"

Politicians in uniform! Never a good look.

Some people are naturally rebellious and appose everything that has authority and support all and every protest , as long as the protests are done by people of their political persuasion

Either one or the other, depending who you believe, but the continued State of Emergency, and still having to adhere to all the Rules & Regs should give you a clue!

As you know, you can do it after 3 years paying taxes. Nobody will do it for you nor is it automatic unfortunately. Not easy but it is possible, as you well know.

 

The fact that residency and citizenship is easily available for women married to Thai men suggests it is the type of foreign men that Thailand generally attracts that seems to be the problem, not necessarily just blanket xenophobia as many would assume.

Yeah I don't buy any piece of it. Paying taxes on what? They don't support me and I don't have to work here to make money to live. Lived here so long technically I have paid more than my fair share of taxes on every item I have purchased or eaten in a normal inside restaurant. You mean foreign women who are unofficially considered the Thai man's property? No one ever suggested that PR should be given over 1-2-3 years of being married. But be serious, it is not that easy and the cost is a lot of money not guaranteed they will approve. USA is much kinder and I know lots of Thai gals there who have it and citizenship getting it rather easy. Xenophobic it exactly is. 

Some inflammatory posts have been removed.

Its not just the youth that want change there 2 old guys in my village ok outspoken drunks mostly but they take no prisoners when discussing an venting their anger against  government and "other " topics

 

Other Thias  try to avoid outright  agreeing or disagreeing on one topic but it makes for interesting listening

However prayuth and his government seem to be fair  game no one has a good word to say about them.. and this is yellow country

There are many FB  pages out there mouthing the undercurrent that's swelling. 

Many of the cartoon clips and jpgs are about a certain watch and ring wearing person..

Why do people say things like that?

 

the fact is that ALL change in the world involves demonstations at some point and area valid and important part of the process.

Only a fool would expect a change to be immediate - what this does do is publicise that a significant part of the people are aware and unhappy with the current situation - it also signals to others that they are not alone in their dissatisfaction.

 

The government probably feels that this kind of protest is insignificant enough for them to ignore, however they can't exactly;y be regarded as experts on public opinion.

Is there still a state of emergency in Thailand ?

All the rules and regulations in regards to Corvid have been lifted in Thailand , everythings nearly back to complete normality  , the only reg still in place are heat testing in malls and some restaurants still have social distancing measures, apart from that , all back to normal 

  Also if Corona was rife in Thailand , the hospitals would be full of virus carrying people, which the hospitals are not

You think they were HIS decisions? I think you better read up on past Thai politics and Prayuth's career.

I believe there still is a state of emergency in force.
