The king has pardoned almost anyone convicted of Leste Majesty in recent years, Thai and Farang alike.
He better pardon the poor bastard from Australia that wrote one sentence in a book that sold 7 copies that got sentenced to 3 years jail. The sentence in question referred to a non-existent, fictional junior prince.
"lese majesty" is a bullshit offence. The King of Thailand earned respect, he doesn't need a law.
Almost as stupid as blasphemy.
