Yet another pro-democracy activist arrested. Patipan is an artist and performer. He was once imprisoned for performing a play deemed a royal insult.

Since recent protests >80 people have been arrested, >20 still detained, more continue to be arrested.

Latest update from Thai Lawyers for Human Rights @TLHR2014: As of 19 Oct 20.30hr, after the court granted bail to some activists, at least 11 still remain in prison (denied bail) or are in detention under investigation. #ปล่อยเพื่อนเรา #WhatsHappeningInThailand
Male activists released today from Bangkok Remand Prison, their heads all shaved. One of the dehumanizing things in the Thai prison system. They take your freedom and control over your body even while still in detention or awaiting trial.😤 #ม็อบ19ตุลา #WhatsHappeningInThailand

#ThaiProtests2020 are truly led by youth, the country’s future. But this is how they feel about the current Thai society. A view of high school girl from a poor region, Isan. #WhatsHappeningInThailand
But we must go with hope for change. #WhatsHappeningInThailand #ThailandProtests2020

• “We don’t want to change the game players but want to change the game.”

We Thais are a playful bunch and we love using and making new wordplays.

This is a sample of our newly coined Thai protest slang: carrot, curry, iced coffee, CIA, mocha, Natasha Romanoff, and more. Enjoy! 😃 #WhatsHappeninglnThailand khaosodenglish.com/culture/net/20…
❤️ Love a cultural story like this. Thai protesters have been joking about how the food vendors, esp. the meatball sellers, are always first at the scene of any protest site. Hence, the nickname “CIA.”😎 Here’s their secret. #WhatsHappenningInThailand

Methinks schoolgirls *were already leading* school-based protests around the country from the start, not only “emerging” now. Yes, more school girls are speaking at large protests. They are finally being recognized as leaders now. #WhatsHappeningInThailand khaosodenglish.com/politics/2020/…
I discussed girls’ participation in student protests in this thread.

Lao-language hashtag #ຖ້າການເມືອງລາວດີ (#IfLaoPoliticsWereBetter) is currently No. 5 on Thailand trends. Interesting phenomenon with respect to Thai-Lao relations and #MilkTeaAlliance.
Hashtag #ຖ້າການເມືອງລາວດີ (#IfLaoPoliticsWereBetter) takes after a popular Thai hashtag #ถ้าการเมืองดี (#IfPoliticsWereBetter) used in political reform discourse on Thai Twitter for some time.
*Correction: Lao-language hashtag #ຖ້າການເມືອງລາວດີ (#IfLaoPoliticsWereGood)
