Play
One third of Thais are wary of political rallies, saying the rallies would only widen social division and hurt the country's image, according to Suan Dusit Poll.
In the poll, respondents were asked if they support the political rally against the government's amnesty bill. 33.67 per cent voted against the rally, while 37.24 per cent viewed this as a normal political activity. Only 29.09 per cent supported the rally, to voice public dissent to the government's policy.
Most of the respondents were worried that this rally could turn violent, to claim lives and loss of property. They also feared that this could hurt the country's image and economic activities.
