| My maid told me that some of here relatives have joined the protest and get paid about 500-1000 bahts per day. That is a lot of money for somebody who work as a labor. So it is much better than hard labor. I don't think they will go away soon and this is causing a lot of damage to the country. I am really worried. |
This comes from a family friend living in Thailand.
Paid protesters. Hmm. |

Of course they're paid..paid on both sides. Do you really think someone would protest for free?  |

| Votes are routinely bought and sold in Thailand as well. It is how the system works! |
