Now he's having a bit of Les(e) miserables.

Yes, bail does not seem to be available for lesser mortals on the same charges.

Norawase Yospiyasathien, a mere university student, was granted bail on LM charges.

One of the lucky ones. Most "ordinary" folks do not get bail.

Repeating a statement before it is deemed illegal is illegal?????????????

No, it's not illegal, it's Thai Logic to the advantage of the other Thai who is stronger than you, sorry, has more money and thus more power.

Sorry Thailand, we know you don't accept criticism, that's why you will end up in the gutter, uneducated, arrogant care-frees

LESE MAJESTY LAW

Sondhi convicted for royal offence

Sondhi

BANGKOK: -- Sondhi Limthongkul, former leader of defunct People's Alliance for Democracy has been sentenced to serve two years in jail for offending the monarchy in 2008.

The guilty verdict and sentencing came after the Appeals Court overturned the lower court's verdict of acquittal last year.

The appellate review was based on Sondhi's remarks quoting lese majeste convict Daranee "Da Torpedo" Chanchoengsilapakul.

The appellate decision cited Sondhi's lack of caution in spreading the offending remarks as ground to penalise him.

Sondhi has been granted bail pending the final review by the Supreme Court.

Not really. He was convicted of repeating a comment made by someone else. I mean honestly, the legal system of Thailand does continue to cover itself in poop. Maybe they should convict everyone who heard it also. Beyond that, what about people who thought about it afterwards. And then, those that tried not to think about it, but inadvertantly, found themselves thinking about it?

And now you have me thinking about it.

The thing here is - We don't need to think, when we have such a strong logic thinking PM. ... reminds me on, MAO. (the only difference here is - even in China you can nowadays address facts, even if they are gov-con). In fact, the Chinese government welcomes critic as they say, "it helps them to improve".

And who is the dumb here, China or Thailand.

See you Thai puppet governors back in China, again (where they always appear to be a little puppy trying to suck mama's milk) but when back home, they won't remember mom's warnings.

And who is the super dumb here again?

Go Thailand, go, you're on the perfect path to ....
