2011: Reform Thailand
2010 was a rough year for Thailand: with the months-long UDD ‘Red-shirt’ protests , Floods, Thailand-Cambodia disputes, fail 3G auction, and etc. Thailand has managed to survive with no coup (shocking!). However, despite all these bad news, there’re movements, and involvements from many sections in Thailand that quietly started their own ‘Reform Thailand’ campaign on the internet (along with the government’s efforts). You can check some of them here (Thaireform, IgniteThailand, ideasforThailand). By using websites, blogs, microblogs, social networks; Thai people are now more aware of the country’s problems and hopefully they want to start doing something. These online movements haven’t been seen before in our history and I, for one, am so intrigued to see what will happen to Thailand in this shiny 2011 and the upcoming years. Let’s keep the ball rolling, people!
