- reading-at-work 8y agoHow do you figure? What does the Thai state have to be afraid of in these two? Do you think they're gonna start some movement to populate the Thai seas while the government just watches in dismay? Seems like the state has a pretty firm grip on the situation.
- voldacar 8y agoI know it seems unrealistic, but if they didnt feel threatened in some way there wouldnt have been much of a reason to crack down on something so apparently innocuous (and legal)
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoSecure nations don't have to behave like this, and usually don't. Nations that feel like they're right on the edge of losing control behave like this. What specifically does (the government of) Thailand have to be afraid of? I have no idea. Looking weak to their own population? Looking weak to the king, which will make him question whether he really needs the military to run the country for him? I don't know.
