If you depend on the tourist season to make your living..it is hard to rock the boat and take to the streets.
Hong Kong has awakened the world..
Since FATHER died, Thailand has changed forever.
Thailand has relative peace for decades.
Just look around it and think about the violence and revolution that has occurred in countries near it.
The thing that has allowed Thailand to flourish while millions died around it is the peace that FATHER somehow brought.

How Thailand Became the World’s Last Military Dictatorship MARCH 20, 2019

Thailand has relative peace for decades. ? I tend to think that Thailand is ruled by the gun not by the ballot box. Between 2008 and 2014, 127 people were reported killed and around 3,500 injured in the political clashes. Since 1932 the country has had 20 charters and constitutions, 12 coups d’état, and 34 years of military rule.
