Yesterday she spent 140 baht to get home because she had the driver take the toll way. Would have cost her 64 Baht between BTS and MRT. Good thing she makes more than 300 Baht per day, as a hair colorist. Hate to see what those poor folks who are making a meager living are having to do. I walked the 6 KM home from Terminal 21 yesterday since the MRT was closed, at least I got a little bit of exercise since I did not run in Lumpini Park in the morning due to rain.

rumak Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I am almost certain that I would make a LOT of money if I bet on what i think the outcome of all this was going to be. But i have ethics that would not allow me to bet against something I feel is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Looking at a sea of protesters here on youtube live, old Canute springs to mind, given the metaphor. I must say, it's all quite atmospheric, given the cutting between the crowd, individuals, and the trains running overhead. The abundance of cute girls doesn't hurt either.

Popular Post nausea Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 The government overplayed their hand. I'd put all this down to the banning of the FFP.

Doesn’t matter. As soon as it’s shut down, a new one is opened up again. It takes a lot of time and effort from the junta to have these pages closed. New ones are easily opened again in minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with that? It's about the country they want to save from more damage done by the Army guys. All they want is a democracy, and what do they get? They extended the laws that people cannot stand in groups and other rubbish that shouldn't be allowed. That's against all human rights, and they should be ashamed. People disappear for ever and never show up again. Unfortunately, they can do whatever they like, which is why you don't see hundreds of thousands of demonstrators. Let's hope that there'll be some major changes soon. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a lot of anger after the Thai activist dissappeared in Cambodia. The, in my opinion, cold reaction from the government triggered things to escalate. My wife is a royalist and staunch yellow shirt, she is full of conspiracy about USA funding - NED - Thai Lawyers for Human Rights - etc. but these demonstrations would never have occured if it wasnt for the actions of the government. Also the actions of the big fella. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
