My vote against tyranny and for a new Thailand
Bangkok Post Opinion | 4 Feb 2014
Songkran Grachangnetara is an entrepreneur. He graduated from The London School of Economics and Columbia University.
Accompanied by my father, I made it my number one priority to head to a voting booth on Sunday because I felt compelled to cast my vote against tyranny.
I suspect, like many other Thais, my vote was an act of defiance
against the People's Democratic Reform Committee's (PDRC) attempt to not
only shut down Bangkok, but to also shut down our democracy.
Unwilling to compromise or find a path that would avoid further bloodshed, Suthep Thaugsuban has demonstrated that he intends to take us to the brink.
