Popular Post DBath Posted September 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2021 A foreigner who is stupid enough to get involved in any kind of political protest probably deserves to be deported and blacklisted. That said, the leadership of this country are a bunch of bozos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moo 2 Posted September 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2021 Let's not blame ourselves, we contribute to the Thai economy, therefore we have a clean conscience. On the other hand this government has been cheating us and is not being being prosecuted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farangdk Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Foreigners who interfere in this, are not 100% OK at the top floor and should probably have the top floor examined. Stay out of it. It only course problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I did not read all of the comments and likely someone has already mentioned this but even though i am not a fan of this government at all i do agree with what they are saying about foreigners not being allowed to protest. imagine this Don't be alarmed the letter said, but mr. Brown ,your son is dead. and it came from Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obey the laws of any land that I am in. What others "should" do is their businesses. Can't figure out who the "we" are. Perhaps replace with "I"?

We LIVE here and are subject to everyday Government edicts and dictates, the same as Thais, whether we like or not. But foreigners are being told they cannot protest or will be deported, so I wont protest. As far as my readings on this forum goes, it seems there is plenty of freedom of speech and I wish for no more entitlement than I already have. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 those over 4.5mln donated by the other countries vaccines were given to support also healthy democratic society, including foreigners. So people can freely go on the streets and protest, if they wish so. They were not donated in support of authoritarian rule by the government 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headgame Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Expressing opinion on an online forum is not protesting in the streets. I can’t remember the govt ever threatening members of Thvisa for posting anti govt opinions. But out in the streets? Well anybody here with a freaking brain should know that’s just plain stupid. BTW, tell me any country that provides foreigners with the same rights and privileges as citizens. If you’re choosing to live in a foreign country BE ADAPTABLE. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansell Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It almost seems like they are scared of us. Any military led country is scared of everybody and anybody that might overthrow their control by gun. Look at the biggest example China, then followed by countries like Russia, Myanmar, N. Korea, Afghanistan, and that nasty piece of garbage controlling Belarus. In “my world” there would be an international UN military force who would tell these despots, you have a month to change, after that the international military will come in and either arrest you, or kill you. If your arrested you will go on trial at The Hague. The military force would only need to invade once to prove a point, then the other despots would change their system pretty quickly. I know I am dreaming….but everything starts out as a dream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the right of the regime to demand impunity and take down anyone that threatens it... They just warned foreigners to stay away. Makes perfect sense to others I am sure.
