BANGKOK — A former Pheu Thai MP was acquitted Friday of sedition and cybercrimesfor questioning what happened to a historic plaque that went missing in April 2017.

The plaque which "mysteriously" replaced it says: “Loyalty and love to the Buddhist Triple Gem, the State, one’s family, and an honest heart for the King are good tools for the prosperity of the state.” Given that the replacement plaque is not location specific, one wonders why one that was had to be taken away and....."vanished" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t come dig it out by Dec. 30, my friends and I will consider that there’s no owner. We will go remove or destroy it ourselves.
