Narrative Protests in Bangkok


Kanya tries to see what is going on but cannot glimpse what is happening in the first rows of the march. Even when she stands on her toes, she cannot see anything because colourful flags, banners and signs are sticking out of the crowd everywhere. Not much is moving and the Thai woman is growing impatient slowly. The march through the huge and lively city Bangkok has taken four hours already and still more and more people are joining in, even though the streets are stuffed with people already. She can feel the people all around her becoming uneasy and hear the whistling growing even louder but until now everyone has been calm and peaceful. Even if this protest turned out violent and if she got lost in the struggling masses again, if would be worth it. This government, which is hated by all Thai people, cannot stay in power. The protest have been going on for a long time now but the power-hungry Yingluck Shinawatra has not resigned yet.
