Whether the ongoing #ThaiProtests2020 will achieve the goals remains to be seen. But so far the movement has made a significant impact on Thai social and political discourse. The issue of monarchy and crown property is now being openly and directly discussed on mainstream media.
The issue of Crown Property has been featured by major outlets like @Thairath_TV and @ThaiPBS. Editor of @sameskybooks (the publisher raided by police weeks ago for publishing monarchy-related books) was invited to a debate on the hottest Thai Rath TV show.
This article by @workpointTODAY explains Crown Property, how it came about, how royal assets were managed under absolute monarchy, how that changed and was invested in Rama 5 reign, how it was managed in Rama 9, and how it changed again under Rama 10. workpointtoday.com/explainer-10/
6 pro-democracy protest guards were shot towards the end of Nov 17 protest. Last night another 2 were shot.
Reports of both incidents have been described as âclashesâ or âconflict between rivalsâ. Choice of words is important. How about âagent provocateursâ? #ThaiProtests2020

Thai Rath TV issued an apology for (presumptuously and incorrectly) reporting that the shooting at the end of the protest at SCB last night was a fight between rival gangs of vocational students.

Police perspective. See how quickly he ruled out other possibilities including, âagent provocateursâ.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Graphic symbolism of Thailandâs power structure.

I was going to ask about companies with their names and logos on the shipping containers used as barricades against pro-democracy protest in Thailand today.

Barriers this am ahead of much anticipated 25 Nov protest at Crown Property Bureau.
Today is a big step up for #ThaiProtests2020, whereas the state has responded with summoning protest leaders for lese majeste. Showdown. Gloves off.

One day ahead of this big protest, a key figure âTotoâ, leader of protest guard volunteers We Volunteer (WeVo) was arrested under arrest warrant for sedition & computer crime for a protest in August in Udon. âTotoâ has been taken to Udon. #āļĄāđāļāļ25āļāļĪāļĻāļāļīāļāļē matichon.co.th/local/crime/neâĶ
#ThaiProtests2020 are truly led by youth, the countryâs future. But this is how they feel about the current Thai society. A view of high school girl from a poor region, Isan. #WhatsHappeningInThailand
But we must go with hope for change. #WhatsHappeningInThailand #ThailandProtests2020

We Thais are a playful bunch and we love using and making new wordplays.
This is a sample of our newly coined Thai protest slang: carrot, curry, iced coffee, CIA, mocha, Natasha Romanoff, and more. Enjoy! ð #WhatsHappeninglnThailand khaosodenglish.com/culture/net/20âĶ

âĪïļ Love a cultural story like this. Thai protesters have been joking about how the food vendors, esp. the meatball sellers, are always first at the scene of any protest site. Hence, the nickname âCIA.âð Hereâs their secret. #WhatsHappenningInThailand
