CANBERRA: -- The Thai ambassador in Australia condemned comedy television program "Have you been paying attention?" over its segment referring to Thailand aired on Oct. 18.

A letter from Ambassador Chirachai Punkrasin was sent out to Network 10, a television channel based in Sydney, with a request to remove the “disrespectful” segment from their future broadcasts and social media.

"I find that mocking people who are feeling intense grief at the passing of their monarch to be very inappropriate, disrespectful, and certainly not amusing," Chirachai's statement said.
