It is so sad to read. This is a great nation of talented people. Versatile and skillful in various fields. This isn’t just restricted to the Diplomatic corps, there are so many through the whole country.

This country is poisoning its society and the speed of social regress is accelerating. The brutal crush of the democratic movement is one example.

Social improvement need innovation, not allowing to speak up freely hinders it in all aspects. Daring and progressive people trying out new ways is what this country needs. Expressing ideas, open and constructive discussion, no matter how challenging those might be there won’t be any progress possible. Social progress is made in an open society - Thailand is heading in the reverse direction!

"What do your children think of you" is a pretty harsh dig at the diplomats. While unlikely to change their course, I do hope this article gets passed around.

Hmmm... "Code for Thai king is same as libel law for commoner." No wonder the draconian libel laws in Thailand. They need to prop up this assertion.

Yeah, Mr.Andrew MacGregor Marshall. As you are very known well, in Thailand we are worshipping and give very high value to the superficial Rich and Powerful Liars (Hypocrites) rather than a poor humble guys. As long as they have his or her Money and Power which forcefully stealing from us with no any shameful. This is the way Thailand is..😿❤️🌎👍
