Bangkok Shop Owner Defends Right to Sell Controversial Shirts
You don't see the issue come up much anymore because westerners are sensitive to the. sensitivities of Thais. However, Thais have been rather vocal in the past. The French cosmetics firm used a Buddha image to promote a perfume. The Thai government went ballistic. At the time Surapong Jeyanan Thai Foreign Affairs Spokesman had this to say; " You know what happened to Salman Rushdie and others who are considered to have committed blasphemy. What has happened to this gentleman and many ladies... There is no need to expand on this to you." https://newsroom.ap.org/editorial-photos-videos/detail?itemid=6de1fc203508c5e53e4ade44e65b044e&mediatype=video&source=youtube That was a government official threatening a physical attack. Remember the protest against the Asian artist who created a toiler art work with a Buddha image initially drew a small number of protestors in Munich? It grew into a Thai backlash. Don't you recall Pornchai Pinyapong demanding that the German government put pressure on the art gallery thosted the art to remove it and the subsequent hostile protest in Bangkok? German visitors who had no knowledge of the issue were being harassed. The art work was withdrawn and an apology issued. Then there were the Thai sensitivities on film. Thailand takes on Hollywood over film that 'humiliates' Buddhism. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/09/filmnews.thailand -

Trump Could Hand China a ‘Strategic Victory’ by Silencing Voice of America
I have listened to it and MY GOD WAS IT TEDIOUS and ludicrous propaganda. VOA is basically a merciless assault on the intelligence of the listener, a non stop tissue of lies. The sooner this VOA propaganda rag closes down the better it will be. -

BREAKING NEWS Skyscraper comes down in Bangkok earthquake
I think this video better represents the shoddy Thai condo construction. It's from "threads" so not sure if the link will show properly https://www.threads.net/@kagutsuchiheika/post/DHvUpCdTvPC?xmt=AQGzAvDCOjBGxQHqb9WQqzL4Ndhia-OoGa9T5gIFQWrQgg -
