Yes, we know the attitude ... "Come here, spend all your money, and f* off. How dare you have the audacity to voice an opinion."

You would think that for something like this they could at least and long last get their English grammar right.

Immigration police have once again issued a warning to foreigners against any participation in the anti-government protests, saying that this could lead to deportation.

The warning comes in the wake of reports that an Indian businessman; Sathit Segal, will be deported for his involvement in the rally and his speech on the protest stage.

In the first warning, issued in December, the Immigration Bureau said foreign nationals should not participate in the protests because this was illegal and dangerous. Violations could result in deportation.

In the northeast border province of Nong Khai, immigration police put up a sign saying that if any foreigners were found to be involved in the demonstrations, their permission to stay in Thailand could possibly be suspended.

I'm sure the govt will team up with immigration to dream up another farang fine for this to go with all the others that didn't exist before Toxin took over. Maybe they'll include forum posts as "participation", in which case I probably owe them about half a mil ...

It was exactly the same in 2010, several Farangs were arrested, served jail time and were deported for breaking an emergency decree, ( some got shot as well! ):

Agreed, I saw a Facebook photo last week of some falangs in their 20's protesting around Sukumvit/Asoke area. Seriously... nothing better to do ? They probably don't even understand the issues, stay out of it if it's not your fight, that's what I say..

They we're just some backpackers who saw all the whistles and thought they were at some retro 1990's rave party!

Guess it was more than a few weeks ago, found it on a pro Suthep page on Facebook. Seriously... get a life..

I think that like many of the younger generation now, the only issue they were interested in was posting a picture on facebook!

You are probably right... Oh and wearing a COOL LOOKING T SHIRT. Forgot about that.. they can wear it once they get home as well and tell all their friends about what a difference they made in the world that day...

But it makes sense..All that Thai swag for cheap. 100 baht for the T-shirt 25 baht for this knick nack and so on. Back packer heaven.
Do they have a clue on why and when..More then likely No.

You make a very good point! I never even thought about that. T Shirt, whistle, lanyard, headband, flag... it all adds up.
