Per this article: In Thailand, the anthem is played at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day on loudspeakers in places like schools, offices buildings, parks and train stations. People are expected to stand still and be silent.

It is strongly advised the one follow that protocol while in Thailand.

I was at a mining camp in Indonesia and was warned about this daily ritual as well. They told the story of some Australian that kept driving until a security guy stopped him. The security guy motioned for him to wind down his window. Then he cracked him in the head with his rifle butt.

Another time one of the guards had a guy in his sights as the guy (drunk) was climbing up the flag pole to steal the flag. His buddies watching included a foreman, that was able to plead with the guard not to shoot him. He spent some time in an Indonesian prison though.

I had no idea about this law.

Completely unaware. Thanks.
