Indeed.

But there are plenty of farangs who will support these draconian laws.

Amongst many other reasons, Thailand cannot move on while they stay in place.

Being as the fella in the article was born in Thailand ( tho a US citizen ) he should really know better , he is obviously either a brainless plonker , an attention seeker or both , if the latter than .......... well done sir it worked !! ,

Draconian laws or not you dont have to be a rocket scientist to keep your trap shut and stay clear of breaking them.

Btw i think the Royal family both here in LOS and the UK are brilliant .

Mash.

Unfortunately, we can only discuss the latter. Brilliant is not the first thought that springs to my mind (in either case).
