How did she insult the monarchy, I wonder?

That is the trick!y bit !!
If it is repeated in court ( or anywhere else) as evidence then the person who repeated it would also be guilty !!!

:confused:

One might be tempted to suggest that even reporting it here would be taking a chance. Thai cops love to charge expats with Lese Majeste. Much potential for a hefty bribe.

This has always been an issue for me. We can call Bush an idiot or whatever. Have comedians mock him on TV, that's television, no problem.

But say something bad about "you know who" and your nuts are in a vice.

Free country, I think far from it...:kma:

Must have had quite a strap on.

Tricky offence
Hard rap to beat
A bit like statutory offences

The king stated in his 2005 birthday speach that he will pardon anyone found guilty of Les Majeste. So why the fcuk does anyone bother ?

Just another reason squeeze money out of farangs.

After all thats all we are are walking wallets.

And yes I had heard the King said that...:gwbush:

Yes but this person is THAI!

Well I guess o one is exempt. Gotta nip that free speech in the bud.

Also she doesn't look to worried?

it is political manouvering
They use this law when they feel like it.
Doesn't show much respect for me

I think you're right.

What g2bh said. It's a catch-all law that people in power use as a last (or sometimes first) resort to silence their enemies. Any utterance remotely referencing the throne is seized on and used to legally bludgeon the poor sod into submission. They do it as much to Thais as well as farangs. An effective weapon for immature mental weaklings.

What? How many farangs do you know that have had money extorted from them by use of the threat of lese majesty charges? :confused:

We get to pretty much say what we want . Look at Jay Leno or the other late night comedians they rip the presidents to "shreds" for a joke of course.

But here we know they are all lying thieving bastards
we can talk all we want about it but of course can't do anything about it.

I Thailand you can't even talk about it. Not the same at all...

None. I'm sure they get paid to do it...

Wow so many farangs here with a totally bad attitude to Thailand and its people.
I would suggest to you that corruption is certainly endemic in the Uk and possibley also throughout the western world.

The king here is the one unifying factor for most of the people and having seen many of the outstanding efforts he has made to improve the lives of the Thai people their love for him is well deserved.

I pity this wonderful man who really cares for his people and must be hurting very badly and seriously worried about the future of his country.

For anyone to talk as badly about him as I am told this woman did is beyond belief for me---she should be locked away for a long time.

^ do you know the facts?

and served less than 10 days...below you tetters...you're normally right on the ball.

I believe TT is referring to the maximum penalty being 3 years while the Swiss drunk was given 10 . . . irrespective of how much time he actually spent in jail
.

Still am quite in awe of the youtube onslaught that got him released.

On past evidence Paul's pretty good at that. I think he might be bi-lingual.

I have heard a recording of Da Torpedos speech.

and yes I like many of you am proficient in talking out of my arse sometimes---but at least I know and admit it. However this time I think my comments were well founded.

And she says . . . . . . . . what?
