They should have picked a better target, like those nondescript black Mercedes being escorted by RTP motorcycles all over Bangkok.

As usual in Thailand, very small things are being blown up out of propotion. In fact nothing really happened as blowing a horn.. The consequences however are much worse as we could see already with a clash earlier this week. Why not keep it small, reprimand the hornblower and leave it. But now a fugutive is getting parole for much more and the hornblower is even being denied bail...  

 

There are much bigger issues to dela with and solve the problems than this case. Spend your time and energy to those things instead of wasting time for a small incident.

Honking horn already upgraded to obstructing the motorcade 😉

It is of utmost importance that Royal personages be protected from disrespectful horn-blowers. I suggest that the Royal family (and other VIPs) use helicopters instead of cars to get around. Thus, no interruption to normal traffic and no chance that the Royals/VIPs will have to put up with the awful sound of scooter/car horns far below them (far below in every sense).

Well, I'll be keeping my pet geese far far away from any Royal motorcades.🙃🙃
