BANGKOK - “They think arresting the leaders will stop us. It’s no use. We are all leaders today,” 24-year-old Pla said as she addressed thousands of protesters at Bangkok’s Victory Monument on Sunday.

Partly borrowing from the Hong Kong protest playbook and partly working things out for themselves, previously unknown protesters have thwarted police efforts and demonstrated the greatest public support for change in decades.“Get your megaphones ready, your protective gear on, because everybody is a leader,” the Free Youth group protest announced in a Facebook post on Sunday.

Police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen described the situation as “very dynamic”, adding: “What we can say now is warn the public that they have to follow the law.” “Be kind to your fellows, have faith in collective wisdom, be fluid on strategies, be determined in actions,” tweeted Hong Kong activist Nathan Law on Sunday in support of Thai protesters. “Never lose hope, stay safe.”

One of those who came forward, PK, was older than others at 30 and helped to ensure security - with everyone worried that police could again use water cannon and batons as they did at a protest on Friday. As word spread that police might approach the different demonstrations, human chains linked up to pass along protective gear such as helmets, goggles and umbrellas.
