Look who is coming to Bangkok. This convoy of farmers comes from Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chainat and Ang Thong. It looks like the farmers are prepared to stay a long time if necessary. Their goal, of course, is to get their money and, if that is not possible, to force the government to resign.
In the future, if a government makes promises to farmers, it better keep them. This group of unpaid farmers went to Suvarnabhumi Airport today to make sure tourists know they have been treated badly.
