Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi greets migrant workers from Myanmar, as she visits them in Samut Sakhon province in Thailand on Wednesday.
Reuters reports: BANGKOK — For 24 years, Aung San Suu Kyi was either under house arrest or too fearful that if she left Myanmar, the government would never let her return.
Now, in a sign of how much life there has changed, the democracy activist and long-time political prisoner is resuming world travels, arriving Tuesday night in neighboring Thailand after an 85-minute flight from her homeland.

What is DEmocracy? I hear about all these people like her the ex-Panamanian president and Fatima Bhutto who were all exiled but not for Democracy showing up in the news as Democracy activists.
I'm an Independent Researcher now and I want Democracy!!! Really Democracy, not embarking Capitalism with poverty for the population attached. Real Democratic changes begin with making measurable differences to sustain the same type of society and class in the country, these women speak up to bring big banking and outsourced industries to these countries and to them that's facilitating Democracy to them.
No, it's not. Democracy needs a foundation and can get one now through the United Nations initiatives for Gloalization.
