The Phuket News Poll
Are road blockades the right way to go about getting grievances heard?
No. Road blockades affect a lot of innocent motorists – including tourists, expats and of course, many local Thais themselves who are not involved in the protest, or have no idea what it is about.

Yes. There’s not much point in staging a protest if a road blockade happens down some tiny soi in the middle of nowhere. It needs to have maximum effect, which means blocking off an important road to attract attention.
