Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2022 Photo from bangkokbiznews.com More than 2,000 police were deployed to provide protection for Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha when he visited Chiang Mai province today (Wednesday), but the sheer force of both uniform and plainclothes officers failed to stop the protests. A small group of protesters gathered in front of Chiang Mai airport to protest Prayut’s visit to the province. More protesters were reported to have gathered in front of the convention centre and international trade exhibition fair in Muang district, which the prime minister was scheduled to visit. Holding posters which read “8 years, no future, get out”, “no future, but public debt” and “Loong Too (PM’s nickname), borrow, borrow, borrow” were waived by a small group of protesters, who were barred from entering the fair ground.

There are currently about 230,000 police officers in Thailand. Thailand has about 340 police officers per 100,000 people. This ratio of police officers is much higher than that of neighboring countries such as Myanmar and the Philippines. It is about 1.5 times that of Japan and roughly equivalent to that of the United States. Edited June 29, 2022 by SAFETY FIRST 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thingamabob Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 I suspect that many more would turn out were it not for the brutal crackdowns of 1973, 1976 and 1990 which proved that the authorities couldn't care less about the lives of ordinary Thai people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryAdriaenssens Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 That's the price politicians and the rich are paying and will continue even more in the coming future. An increase in bodyguards and protection of any kind, not only in Thailand but worldwide. They can fool and mess with the people of their country but can't walk free without a whole army of security around them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
