Davies of seeking to meddle in their affairs, AFP reported.Some wonderfully welcoming protesters were captured on video yelling, “USA get out!” Full story: http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2015/11/27/protesters-tell-us-ambassador-go-home -- Coconuts Bangkok 2015-11-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkpanther99 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) I know English standards in Thailand are bad but if you're going to make a banner to hold up at a protest, you should at least make sure all the words at the spelled correctly.

jacky54 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) I thought groups of more than 5 protesting was still illegal in the land of the free? not when you are insulting the envoy of a foreign power it seems. I assume the ambassador was referring to 'defamation' cases such as one in Aug where a businessman got 30 years (reduced from 60) for fb comments, clearly barbaric. If only the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia would speak out as well! Edited November 28, 2015 by jacky54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Oh no need for the US Ambassador to <deleted> himself...much more entertaining for him to watch Thailand get <deleted> by China! Oh the poetry & prose of todays Thai protesters! Whatever happened to the good old days of 'Death to America' and a good bit of flag burning? Happy Days....

Laughing Gravy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I just love the "if you don't agree with everything about us go home" brigade. Hardly original and mature. These are the anti western everything, except for their western mobile phones, western cars and designer western clothes. Hypocrisy at the highest level.

ratcatcher Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I know English standards in Thailand are bad but if you're going to make a banner to hold up at a protest, you should at least make sure all the words at the spelled correctly. Since when did <deleted> have an 'e' in it? Just another day in the Land of Xenophobia. It is Saturday and the grammar and spelling police are off duty, but I think you will find that the "C" in the word we all use, but can only show in pictures, is a font that the Thais probably learn at school. I am surprised that TVF actually showed it. Quite shocking. It is also very disrespectful of these protesters to ask the U.S.ambassador to do the impossible. Luckily, for them, they weren't all arrested and sent for AA. "make sure all the words at the are spelled correctly." Have a wonderful day in Xenophobia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellacissa Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I hope this group has a short attention span. I have to go to the embassy this week and do not relish the thought of shouldering my way through a mass of angry protesters. Not that they don't deserve to have their voices heard. I just don't want to be there while they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docshock13 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The saffron thug strikes again! He should be defrocked (among other things). Just a political #$*@ disturber hiding behind faux piousness. Ultra-nationalism, thuggery, nepotism and cronyism simply repackaged as benevolent patriotism. And instead of the govt sweeping this trash and his ILLEGAL group off the streets to prevent international embarrassment, the PM comes out and stops short of endorsing this group and their actions. Going to be a long and bumpy ride towards democracy, the rule of law and recognition of civil and human rights ahead. Good luck Thailand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuaBS Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Only 200 ? I'm sure many more in spirit want the US ambassador and spies out and rightly so. And take US companies with you. If Thais really want US & their interest out , vote with your money, don't buy american. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
