An upsetting run in Lumpini as Bangkok public space is slowly allowing itself to be taken over by lawless thugs.
An upsetting run in Lumpini as Bangkok public space is slowly allowing itself to be taken over by lawless thugs.
I run in Lumpini park everyday. Today I entered the park at 1pm and on my right was a group of mob guards surrounding one Thai guy. They were intimidating him and put his head between his legs and were hitting him on the head. Maybe the guy did something wrong maybe not, but physical abuse is not okay.
I saw this and asked them what they were doing and took a picture. The picture upset them and then I told them they were not police, which upset them a bit more... the one guy got quite aggressive in his speech and approached me and said he was a police officer, I once again, told him he wasn't.
They didn't touch me but it left me quite shaken. There were no park security in that area so I went up to the gate near the police station side of wireless and found REAL, security guards and asked them why they were not patrolling and being a big baby, subsequently burst into tears....they said they were not allowed over there by the mob guards.
Which leads me to point...Thai citizens, are you not worried about what is going on? Protesters wear cute tshirts and throw around jargon whilst people with no authority are seizing it and creating an unsafe and hostile city.
I am sad.
