Anti-government protesters walk along cones in Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Move a traffic cone placed by people who have spent six months taking over various areas of this politically volatile capital and you could get beaten, stabbed or shot. For many Thais sick of the chaos, it is a chilling thought, but also a chance to meme. Allegations that anti-government protesters have attacked several motorists for moving traffic cones have sparked a mix of outrage and creativity in political cartoons and online postings that went viral this week.

The bucolic, once laidback, campus of one of Thailandâs top universities seems to be under a security clampdown these days. Not against a terrorist threat, but Chinese tourists, thousands of them, who have clambered aboard student buses, eaten in cafeterias, sneaked into classes to attend lectures and even pitched a tent by a picturesque lake.
