yesterday one of my daughter's stuffies got 'a little dirty' and had to get washed. she was quite worried that "Bud" would be super lonely inside the washing machine so she got a few friends to watch while he went round and round - ha!
These photos were taken before he was anointed king in 2019. His father Rama IX, died in 2016. He had reigned for 70 years and was revered by the Thai people. My wife is Thai and she wore black in public for a whole year as did many Thais. But yeah his son is a wingnut. But if I was to say or write that while in public in Thailand I would be in for a long time in a Thai jail or worse.
^ The straight-faced and patient responses to the situation by the judge are the funniest ####ing thing I've ever seen. The ultimate straight man in a comedy team!

First time I watched a movie in a Thai theater and had to stand to honor the (old) king was a weird experience. I'm really glad I wasn't in the country when he died, having all the bars and clubs shut for a month would have been a boring ass vacation. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the future with the general Thai population re: the monarchy, right now the reverence is still high mostly due to Rama IX still fresh in everyone's mind. But his son isn't doing anything to extend his family's legacy, so I could see people stop caring in a few years. Hopefully that would mean the draconian anti-monarchy laws could finally get abolished
