the thais are a very emotional people, just like the fillipinos, it's just a spontaneous out-pouring of emotions that's all, a year from now no one would even remember anything, least of all the demonstrating students ... the university babes hanging out at the bars at khao san road would still be as welcoming to Singaporeans boys then ...
and what the thai military junta is saying and doing is more for domestic consumption than anything else, note that they are trying to prevent long term damage to bilateral relations at the same time, telling us that our military ties and tourism etc are unaffected ....
