(SNIP)

Such a dangerous assertion should be supported by facts.

Facts like those in the "The King Never Smiles" for instance?

Oh you won't have read this though because you aren't allowed.

(I will delete my post though - I don't want to get BE banned in Thailand due to the stupid lese majeste laws you have to put up with there)

Where DO you get your "Facts"
which seem to have lessened to one now?

You do not live in Thailand?
you should tread carefully.

I fully stand by what I say - I just don't want to be the cause of BE being blocked. If you leave Thailand for a week or two get hold of the book I mentioned above and read it. It's an eye opener and highly regarded as being well researched and based on facts. You can also check out some of the decadence leaked to wikileaks.

I used to live in Thailand and I speak Thai fairly well (as my tag-line should tell you). I was there when Sonti started his whole anti Thaksin movement and I was there for the coup (I left in 2008 though, so didn't see the recent red/yellow shirt nonsense). I do think that when the King dies, there is going to be trouble (we all know there is a very nasty undercurrent to Thai politics). I may disagree with you about the good the king does, but I hope you can stay safe when this happens.

There's a lot of truth in your last paragraph.
