Andrew65 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Thai libel laws. I notice that when someone falls from a high building (and dies) in Thailand the building is never identified. I believe that this is done so as not to fall foul of libel laws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddelljohn Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Not leaving negative reviews is immoral, and cowardly, I give praise when its due and criticism when appropriate,, other wise how will anything ever change ,, as to Thai Libel laws ,, so what ,, pathetic .. its just bullying and intimidation and needs to be defeated , I was in Bangkok a few weeks ago and gave negative reviews to 2 hotels rated 5* when they were at best 3* due to shabby rooms , poor breakfast , lack of advertised facilities etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once wrote a hotel review. Everything OK. Only as a constructive criticism that the balcony railings are too deep. Simply dowel in an additional higher rod. Not everyone is a midget. Well nothing happened. Neither a law suit against me nor that there would be additional balcony poles for safety reasons.

Depends on what you say & since that's the case, we really don't have it here either. This quote has been refuted as belonging to tubman. Either way, it's still true today.
