There have been student-led protests in that country since I was there in 1971.

Thailand, has been a constitutional monarchy since 1948, with many military coups coming to power, but never harming the Royals, which has been the dynastic family for over 600 years.

Not like England, you say in public that the king wears a different anything, and you ARE put in jail.

had those ‘ student led protests ‘ in 71 & 73 been successful Thailand would have gone Commie and the entire Royal family would have been hauled out to the jungle , starved or murdered . Like in Laos .
These ilk are of a slightly different sort . You have to be real careful with Asian anarchist movements ; they are usually communist backed somehow .
