> Does it make sense for me and a bunch of friends to go to Thailand and protest the way they run their country?

This topic concerns the actions of US Gov; it's about which actions are specifically limited by the Constitution. Enforcing those limits is how we protect our rights.

It makes sense to advocate for the constitutional rights of individuals.

Further, not advocating for others' constitutional rights - this is a factor in erosion of rights overall. I offer that the 100mi constitution-free zone adjacent to US borders is an example of that¹.

If Thailand's government is similarly bound by it's constitution, it is probably wise for Thai people to advocate for individual rights.
