White Lotus…Thai Vacation may not be a good idea

On 27 February 2025, the Royal Thai Government deported a group of 45 Uyghurs asylees to China (why?)

Similar deportations have prompted violent retaliatory attacks in the past

Most notably, in the wake of a 2015 deportation of Uyghurs from Thailand, improvised explosive devices detonated at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok killing 20 people and injuring 125 others as this shrine is heavily visited by tourists from China.

What's left of the U.S. Mission in Thailand advises U.S. citizens to: Exercise increased caution & vigilance…

#Bangkok air quality index is presently 116, PM2.5 pollution is 8.9 times the level recommended by the World Health Organization. Moderation is expected next week aided by significant winds. https://www.iqair.com/th-en/thailand/bangkok

My friend Gregg is raising funds to bring two #Bangkok Univ students to Sweden for an exhibition of their zine project at the #Gothenburg International Science Festival.

In 2024, he and his colleague worked with 110+ performing arts students to address social & economic challenges in Thai society through public activities. They taught students to create zines to spread awareness and engage broader audiences in #Thailand and beyond.

Any contribution is welcome!
