The  English word mob has been taken up by Thai language to mean any group of protesters. It doesn't have the anarchic connotations of the English meaning. In Thai you can have a mob of doctors, teachers, whatever 

I can speak Thai rather well, but thank you for explaining. I tend to still see it that they see it the more harsh way. The protestors are not hippies giving out flowers, but is an anti movement against the regime. One thing is for sure, tomorrow is going to be interesting.

I'm waiting for him to stage a coup against his own (many)  disgruntled government thus giving him back the absolute power he seems to miss so much

10 million of the inbound tourism industry jobless urges PM to resume living allowance(April-July) payout to stay alive.

Otherwise they would join the anti government protest from anger.

Supposedly 2 separate issues, now getting increasingly closer and closer.

This is how revolutions happen. Students light the fire and others join.

In other words: I'm already using this pandemic to my full advantage. I thought of it first so you can't do it too. Not fair.

i saw the estimated 20,000 attendance double to estimated 40,000 a couple of days ago, maybe doubled again ? starting to get a bit worried perhaps 

Here's the 500 kilo gorilla in the room named Noul that no one has anticipated as it comes crashing toward the scheduled demonstrations.

Who?Oh the guy who won 6 million votes and then was made a criminal and banned from politics for 10 years and his party banned for winning too many votes.He is awaiting the outcome of legal proceedings to see how long he will be jailed for, but that might take a while because they can't afford to throw him in jail just yet.

Throwing him in jail would be a bad move he had 6 million voters which to my knowledge he won fair and square if 50% of them decide to back the students there will be hell on

Reform of the Thai Monarchy, part of the ten-point manifesto, published for the first time at a rally on August 10^th, will definitely be raised at this weekend’s rally at Thammasat University’s Tha Prachan campus, said Ms. Panasaya Sitthichirawattanakul, one of the leaders of the Thammasat Alliance group.

 

 

Whats the chances of the mobile networks being shut down?

Low. I base that on the inability of the telecom companies to do anything fast.

It’s a worry, but they can’t jam people’s ability to take photos or video. And that can all be uploaded later. 

https://www.thaipbsworld.com/protesters-prepare-for-communication-hiccups/

Ten of thousands people from across the country are expected to join the anti-government protest this weekend. To avoid communication hiccups during the demonstration in case the mobile signal network is down, protesters start to circle around encouraging others to download Bridgefy or Briar for back-up plan.

That's what the disgraced lunatic Sonthi is claiming too. 

 

Sonthi gets out of jail Cartalluci pipes up again. 

 

Funny that. 

and WHO can predict when the crisis is/will be over...

with only 58 deaths reported, and about 3400 infections.....out of  POP...of approx 65 million.....then surely there IS NO CRISIS...!!!

As others have pointed out he is pretty prdictable.

Next will be himself or the good Doctor stating there are cases amongst the students. (How as that posible)

Thus turning the general public against them by creating more fear.

He has no other way other than force.  

Hold off the protests .

  Until , the tank's and military ,  are in position .

  You , know it makes sense .

Democracy . ?   Thai style ..

 

I think it's coming.

Prayuth is a joke. Long live dictatorship,  down with... !

Maybe Ive missed it, but where is the news thread item covering the important protests in Bangkok today?or are yet more ministerial nonsense announcements considered more suitable to force feed the readership and not risk a support forming to oust the corrupt, thieving, morally bankrupt muppets in uniform

 

Other sites have pictures and coverage of the protests i could provide the link but im sure the post would quickly vanish in the tvisa Bermuda triangle.

There are some interesting photo's around, not only of a grassfield full of people but also a screenshot from Nation TV that says in Thai '19 sept stay home.. when Thai.  Go outside... if you are a slave/serve . Die... if you are wrong' at 19.48 . Sadly no further context.  But for some proper coverage you are left mostly with social media and Thai PBS.

How many posts do we need about hiding in our houses because of the terrible storm on the way or repetitive visa postings when this is what matters now. 

So much interest in complaining what Thailand is like and so little interest when people are trying to change it.
