I need guidance
My wife is wanting to enlist change.org to help expose the corruption in Thailand and get rid of the military junta and abolish the monarchy. I advised her against using this organization as well as amnesty international, both of which I consider to be far leftist organizations.
Are there conservative mirror organizations? How can she get the word out to the broadest audience? These are tall orders. I hope this is the appropriate forum to post this. |

If you wife is a natural born citizen of Thailand, she could try to develop a guerilla origination and over throw the current crowd, but that has to be accomplished from the inside.. In either case,, Any effort less than 110% committed, with vast amounts of money, boots on the ground, AND external support, eg: the USA or Russian or China... will lead to failure. Using the MSM or UN or blogs (left or right) is not going to do it.. My $00.00002 :munchin |
Go into this with eyes wide open.
Not all countries may be as "understanding" as USA. For example, see full article and additional links at link below. Thailand: Anti-Corruption Law Penalties Extended to Foreigners (Aug. 7, 2015) Amendments to Thailand’s Anti-Corruption Act took effect on July 9, 2015, upon their publication in the Royal Gazette. The amended Act imposes harsher penalties on state officials and extends the maximum penalty, capital punishment, to foreigners found guilty of corruption. (New Anti-Corruption Law in Thailand Extends Death Penalty to Foreigners, GUARDIAN (July 15, 2015, last modified Aug. 3, 2015); text of the Act in Thai (July 9, 2015), ROYAL THAI GOVERNMENT GAZETTE.) <snip> http://www.loc.gov/law/foreign-news/...to-foreigners/ |

She reports that there is a leader they have in mind. Let me be clear, my wife, born in Thailand, is not the genesis of this thought. She asked me to help with using the organizations in the OP and I refused as they are leftists. There are, I do not know how many, supporters in country. I advised her to advise them to start gathering up support in country. I advised against seeking out CIA help as they are probably quite comfortable with what is in power now. BTW, she reports that the royal family is neck deep in the drug trade. |
I can only suggest as is the COA my wife is taking is to forget about Thailand and look at ways to help any extended family leave the country.
This will be a generational problem and civilians in Thailand are in no way prepared to take on the military there. Sorry but, that's what has become of Thailand. Trok dee |

She wants to see her people free, or rather freer than they are now. |

I think her goal is more to shine light upon the royals alleged drug dealing. She is naturalized. I advised her that a Whitehouse petition would be a bit more neutral. Thanks for the warning. Thank y'all for your help. |
You do realize that Thailand is one of the USA's allies, right? We have been training with the Thai army since the 1960's. We helped them against the communists during the Vietnam War. The Thai government allowed the US unfettered use of Thai air, army and navy facilities. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for their trust. Do you doubt we wouldn't help them again? My guidance to you is to counsel your wife to stay out of any rebellion in Thailand.

But your point is taken and my wife is advised to not put to much of her support behind this situation. |
We're not going to discuss fomenting regime change on a US ally. Not even hypothetically.
