I lived in Thailand for six years and married a Thai. When you get to know Thais well, they may be more forthcoming about how they feel about the royal family.
The royal family is not hated (though some may be, eg, the Queen and Crown Prince, who may be passed over because of his character flaws). But the royal family is not as universally and unquestioningly praised as appears on the surface. Little real information about the royal family is available because of the lese majesty laws. Disussion about the royals’ private and corparate lives is always done very quietly and very privately.
I understand.
No. I’ve not spent that kind of time there. And I assumed it was not the whole story.
I thought the Queen was likewise diligent in behalf of the less fortunate. What’s her bad press about?
Thx.
