Students always like protesting, but in my whole life. I've never seen a government take any notice of people with little experience of actual life. I'm not Thai, but my experience tells me these protests will never get anywhere in a country where there have been so many coups in the last one hundred years. Its something in South East Asian culture that makes this happen. That's what needs to change and sadly students aren't going to change it. Only time can change this situation maybe another 30-40 years in my estimation. But then of course there will be another coup later, its cultural.

Australia had armed forces conscription in the 60/70s. Students protested and marched in the streets, by the 80s conscription was history.

Took 30 years then? Sounds like the Brits, notoriously slow at doing anything.

its something related 1 st of all to the standard / way of education ......... to culture and history in a minor aspect .....anywhere at any time of this life .....even in the US or Europe reality can change very fast ......best examples to be seen in the last US fullon - donut - president and the situation in Europe now .....  and if something makes it change than having the balls to speak up and making all students having little experience of actual life is a bit over the top and incorrect - and if you know the situation so well concerning these aspects which are trying to be changed - than I ld like to see you living with them
