Sondhi Limthongkul has started a campaign on "transnational grey capital" with embassy protests, but analysts say it is not yet a mass movement. Two dates matter: the Election Commission's decision on Monday over 229 people accused of colluding in the 2024 Senate election, and the Constitutional Court ruling on Sept 28 on whether ballot barcodes breach secret voting before February's national election. A ruling that is widely seen as unfair could widen protests, so expect political noise and possible road or site disruptions in Bangkok. For most SME owners, plan for short-term uncertainty and no change to daily operations yet.
