Someone just told me about that at work.
A sane ex-Thailand expat who also thinks that there's no way that that king is already dead.

Re: Prison for insulting the king's dog ?
a very overused /archaic law that should be canned, BUT being used to attack everyone.
AS always, where u live, be aware of the laws

You can't be scared, can you?
Re: Prison for insulting the king's dog ?
If by now, you fully understand how this relates to the upcoming big event, then this will come as absolutely no surprise to you.
On the other hand, it's amazing that some people still haven't absorbed the gravity of the situation. It's not a joking matter.
Anyway, it's not that complex and these days there's plenty of info on the net. Just do a bit of research if you're still befuddled.

Seriously, who cares about Thailand?
Why don't you join a Thai forum?
If you miss it so much, go there.
I haven't had the pleasure, but from what I read, I'm not missing much.
You sound like a melancholic teenage lover, Richard, make a choice and get a life.
Kind of stupid coming here and starting a thread about somewhere else apart from giving advice re travel, hotels etc.
