Bangkok - 18 Years Ago

I noticed this today while looking at Wikipedia. Why I was looking at "On This Day" from 2 days ago is hard to explain but on this day, 17 May 1992:

"Three days of popular protests against the government of Prime Minister of Thailand Suchinda Kraprayoon begin in Bangkok, leading to a military crackdown that results in 52 officially confirmed deaths, many disappearances, hundreds of injuries, and over 3,500 arrests."


As they say, the more things change...
