Incident on a Bangkok Bus

On Saturday, we rode a bus from near the Ratchathewi Sky Train stop in Bangkok to the Khao San Road district. At one stop, two Thai men carrying large ruck sacks filled with the lurid and unknown got on the bus and proceeded to begin a campaign of leering and harassment against us. It was clear that my sister was the target and I was simply an obstacle. But what's remarkable is that after a time, a number of Thai women on the bus came to my sister's defense. They shouted at the men and helped us get off in peace at a stop near the Democracy Monument.
