I was in an interview today with a spokesperson of a certain big (red) company whose identity is totally beside the point when news filtered in of the internal security act on 11-23 filtered in. What took me by surprise was the response from the spokesperson, who obviously had no idea of the dynamics of Thai politics.
He said that he was stuck at the airport when the protesters were there for what felt like a peaceful sit-in and didn't feel scared at all. He ended up waiting to fly out of the country at Koh Samui (or was it another island resort) and had to tell his colleagues that he was having a foot massage by the beach when everyone kept calling to check if he was alright.
I did not tell him that this upcoming set of protesters were a bit different from the previous set. He was flying out on Wednesday so better let him enjoy his stay in Bangkok blissfully unaware of the brewing storm.
