I don't care, I'll post whatever I want whether it offends people or not, I'm exercising my First Amendment right, if you don't like it, don't watch it. We've all learned a phrase in pre-school when we were kids, it said "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt". That phrase and the First Amendment goes hand in hand.
@ChaiyoPantamit - If you listen carefully I am submitting to no one. Whether the King is good or not or the monarchy is right or wrong is not the issue. My only message is this - if you got a beef about something then man up and try to change things. But don't think being a nasty, mean spirited little ass that acts like a kid throwing tantrums is gonna win you any points. Be bigger and better than that and if you can't then you're welcome to just shut up. Have a good day. : )
@Wit - Oh really? In your video you mouth the same lines as a royalist, almost verbatim. "if you got a beef about something then man up and try to change things".--That's what I'm doing man, but because of this stupid lese majeste law which you favour, is stopping me from going all the way.
@ChaiyoPantamit Dude don't put words in my mouth. I don't favor Lese Majeste and never have. It's an archaic and unjust law that is grossly abused to favor political gain as well as mocking the King AND true democracy. Claiming that it's got your hands tied is bullocks and a cop out. You want to man up and effect change? Than be a leader, be innovative and find ways to work around the problem so things are better for all people not just elites or one party over another. Verbal tantrums (1/2)
@Wit - "man up and effect change? Than be a leader"- What do you want me to do? Go out in public and say these things? Fuck no! Who wouldn't be scared of a 15 year jail sentence. I don't have much of a choice and even if it means throwing "verbal tantrums" then so be it....Btw your comment itself is an act of lese majeste, calling it an archaic and unjust law in public would land yourself in jail!
@ChaiyoPantamit and pissing contests on You Tube aren't doing anything to help anyone when you antagonize rather than lead and most of this shit is is blocked by MIT in Thailand anyway. (2/2)
@Wit - "man up and effect change? Than be a leader"- What do you want me to do? Go out in public and say these things? Fuck no! Who wouldn't be scared of a 15 year jail sentence. I don't have much of a choice and even if it means throwing "verbal tantrums" then so be it....Btw your comment itself is an act of lese majeste, calling it an archaic and unjust law in public would land yourself in jail!
Thai king brain wash Thai people from the past many years. Thai king want to protect himself by creating the law called “ less majesty law” . If anyone mention or criticised king and loyal family ,he or she must be in jail. What a dictator!! This is a 21 century!! What an old fashion way to treat human-being like us!! Please wake up!! Please don’t let this brain wash power to threaten and take over your mind. Good luck to you and for the peace and democracy in Thailand.
I was prepared to watch yet another westerner saying dumb things about Thailand...but you got it right. I assume you must have traveled there because you were able to explain things in a way that even an American can understand. Well done.
Anyone who as spent years in thailand as i have know the ruling elite in bangkok including the despicable royal family (how can a country barely out of the 3rd world with hardly any natural resources have a king with more wealth than the saudi royal family , british royal family and Sultan of Brunei combined!!!!) are beligerent. A trip to the north east of the country people live in wood shacks with no health care or education. DISGRACE
@todgerbulge - I think you answered your own question while aslso contradicting yourself. It would seem to me someone who has 'spent years' in a country living with a system he so despises most likely is either a: profiting from it, b: is really clueless about it or c: is a compassionate individual who seeks honest change for the better good of society.
Re-reading your comment I find no facts to support your claims nor compassion for it seems, as well as any justification for living there.
You come across as a pious individual... although your comments make sense, the undeniable fact is the Thai Monarchy is nothing but a leach on the public purse string and the Thai economy at large.
In reality the Thai King does nothing for the Thai people and never intervenes when his subjects need him most, like right now when they're under attack from their own government. The UK Monarchy for example can sack parliament if they misuse their power just to stay in power.
just wanna drop by to thank you for the video. It's heartening to see someone take their time off to learn and respect different cultures.. I really appreciate it... korb khun kap...
Bigotry is written all over your face.. haven't you been tought at school to do your home work before making fool of yourself? so you wouldn't mind if someone reveal your mother as pedophile despite the fact whether its true or not..something is obviously wrong with you .
Thanks for your posting and I remember the King of Thailand had himself said he opposes the Lese Majeste law, saying that he is human and he felt the public should be allowed to criticize him, and if one makes a criticism, he wants to be informed of it, so that he can do better.
Unfortunately he is unable to remove the law since only Thai Parliament can do that but they will not cause the King is beloved and revered, but the King pardons those who criticize him.
Your talking about hate speech?!..Live in Thailand a while and see the real deal about hate speech.Thais are constantly saying horrible things about farangs behind there back or in front of us when they think we don't understand what there saying.They can say horriable things about us for no reason but God forbid we simply correct a Thai when there 100% wrong.They will never ever admit a wrong done to others by them or even that they them selves made a honest mistake.
Mr.Wit, Admirable act,sir .You are my hero. btw...llHyRaXll is so annoying don't you think. and boertjeke don't know anything that he said. if I were an FBI officer,i would check those who made the vdoes,and what a suspicious terrorist mind they have. As we are stepping toward the new generation, watch out for kids who only see this world as material. they'll kill us all.
@toabove2 we have the right to insult anyone and criticize anyone here in america.. its called freedom you dumb cunt.. and yes thai king is a bastard and works with the PAD yellow shirts and military junta.. PAD is evil
@llHyRaXll It really shows how the family brought you up man.. if you get a degree, so the education doesn't help you to see what is right or what is wrong.. freedom doesn't mean you can say anything against others..
@saywhatyouwanna freedom give me the right to say i dont like thai king.. but if i it in thailand i will go to jaill... good thing red will take over soon and change the shitty laws
@llHyRaXll I don't really think that you know what the freedom really means. and right doesn't mean you can do anything to others and you're not wrong.. can you shoot someone because they speak a swear word to you? i don't think so even you're living in America.. it's still wrong to do that kinda thing. I don't mind if you don't like our king, and I have no doubts about the reasons why. 99.99% of Thai people who were born here know why we love our king..
@saywhatyouwanna i do know what freedom means.. only an idiot would ot know that.. that would be stupid to shoot somone for swearing at you... but thats somthing many pad will do if you say somthing about the king
his just shows that pad and yellow shirt dont understand freedom... i have the right to say thai king is bad... but in thailand i would go to jal for that.... no freedom in thailand now
fuck the thai king, the people live in poverty because of that asshole, if you've been to thailand you would know how much of an asshole this king really is...
He has to paraded his image EVERYWHERE in the country.... When I mean EVERYWHERE, I really mean EVERYWHERE
For one thing, yes Obama is MUCH better then anything in Thailand, thats coming from a libertarian who's never supported or voted for Obama
2/3 of America's population isn't living in poverty on crammed family farms, so it's safe to say our situation in this topic is actually going fine...
I never said it's the Kings responsibility to take care of the poor, what i said is it's not THAILAND'S responsibility to take care of their royal family. America isn't perfect... BUT
We did reject a king, and while doing so created the most replicated governmental blueprints that has been re-written into over 100 different nations constitutions... So i think it's safe to say us Americans got it right in that aspect.. The whole rejecting a royal or religious family, it was and actually still remains a pretty revolutionary political strategy
@skinnywhop87 Personally I wish there was a Monarch for the Commonwealth that was more in touch with their people like the Thai King.
I was of the thinking that this adoration for one man was a simple case of Brainwashed People. However having 'lived' in Thailand for over 2 years I now know and understand that it is a genuine expression.
@skinnywhop87 OBAMA is way better than any politician in thailand or the thai king.. the thai king is anti democracy and filthy rich and greedy with his 35 billion $
@llHyRaXll I think you're such a jealous person.. I have no doubt why you're being here and leave such comments whom is educated not do. Because of what? because you're have a dollar to feed yourself ! If you are american, you're not everything of the world.. just idiot people in the freedom country that doesn't know the manners are!
@skinnywhop87 thai king is a bastard.. he disrespected the poor by telling them to be more efficient with their money, while he buy a swimming pool for his dog.. and he also said hel free all lese majeste prisoners, wich he lied!!!! he also support abshit and the coup.. so he obviously agianst democracy and against the constituion./. FUCK HIM
@llHyRaXll if he's a ... you're even more fucking damn bastard yourself.. if you were Thai, I am really pity for your fucking mother to give you a birth.. but if you're not, so shut the fucking damn up and help yourself !
Wit, I am a Thai citizen living in the U.S. Both Thailand and U.S. have given me the opportunities in my life to do what I believe are good deeds. I am a physician, and an associate professor at the University of California. I truly appreciate your effort in making and posting this VDO. Free speech is a tool. One can use his/her tool to build or to destroy. As a teacher, the goal is to teach people how to use their tool wisely and constructively. Thank you again. Chuanpit
According to your logic, ALL forms of COMEDY would be banned. It's obvious you're intolerant of people who disagree with you. You claim that "criticisms are useful if they are constructive." Lets read some more of your comments to see how full of nonsense your are.
"So, if hate message is what you want, you got it... WHORE!!"
@2009AN2009 LESE MAJESTE IS FACIAST ... thai king and his family are above the law.. thsi faggot is anidiot..sayng as westerners its hard to understnad.... most people dont criticize the royal family cuz theyl go to jail you dumb bald cunt
@Wit yes glad you admit your a bastard who supports the thai criinal king and thailands current anti free speech laws.. not surprised though seeing that you live in thailnd.. its ok, reds will soon take over and change thailand into a republic.. bald cunt
@2009AN2009 - Hate to tell you but I never said any of those things so, so much for your attempt to stir up trouble. You're only betting on people listening to YOU rather than trying to find any comments I made like that. Nice try.
I like the idea of having an open debate about this. What if I know the country so well and disagree with this lese majeste law? What right have I to say this publicly? Shouldn't, in a democratic country, the thoughts/ideas of minority be heard? Or Thailand is just another exception?
Interesting video. You've expressed your opinion strongly kissing butt I guess you are in Thailand or plan to visit so you want to secure your visa. It's true a lot of Thais want freedom of speech here and even to talk publicly about the royal family. I didn't see the vid this is based on but I would guess that it is from repressed anger over the Thai reality. You really know little about Thailand's problems. It has no truths recorded in its history because of lack of freedom of speech. Its sad.
@Asianbonfire your right.. the honky in this video is clueless about thai politics and cluesless that the royal family is guilty of many crimes and even allowing the coup agaisnt thaksin wich is agaisnt the constitution.. thai king is a cunt.. so is his son and whroe of a step daughter...
so this aint hate speech.. this is speaking the truth about these fucking cunts who are above the law.. dumb honky i know yer in thailand and thats why yer kissin ass so u dont go to jail 5555
Thankyou, from the land of fake plastic smiles. Actually, it's perfectly legal to disrespect the king. You can say what you want about him so go ahead.
Sorry to say but Thailand is now run by a military mafia and let no one be deceived into thinking otherwise with this current un-elected 'yellow' government
Thai censorship is appalling. Legitimate, levelheaded criticism of the monarchy in books, magazines, etc. are banned. Anna and the King was banned even though it makes Rama IV look good. Surely, most people can forgive the artistic license of a movie.
Not all Thai people unconditionally love their king. Ask the rural poor who supported Thaksin if they adore him for his silence during the 2006 military coup, which overthrew a democratically-elected regime.
Some think that the movie portrays inaccurate historical facts, like Rama IV romancing Anna. I have no opinion about this, I wish I had a time machine to travel back in time. Then again, being just an ordinary man, 'a vessel', at that time it's next to impossible to get to the king without risking your life. I wish I could tell you what was going on. I don't think it's a good idea to ban such movies either. If something's not right then we should be able to criticize and analyze it openly.
If your history and culture can't withstand criticism and ridicule from several YouTube videos, then there are major weaknesses in your society.
You make a rather weak analogy of mocking the king to mocking someone's parents. The king is a public figure while most parents are not, so that makes him fair game.
If you call unreasonable bantering and insults 'constructive criticism,' then YOU are clearly misunderstood. No one appreciates other people disrespecting something they hold dear for no good reason. If you can't help yourself but be ignorant of other people's cultures and traditions, do yourself a favor and don't expose yourself to it then. Disrespect for other cultures is the worst in any case.
@emaruchi and dumb cunt in the video.. king bhumibol is not peoples motehr or father u bald faggot.,. people talk shoit on obama and geroge bush all teh time.. and they have every right to fuckin do it... we can criticize anyone we want without going to jailll thai king is not above the law yo fuckin cunt
This is a great Video. I am part Viet but i deeply respect the thai people. The people who post these stupid videos what disrespect the thai king should grow up.
The Thai Finance Minister's wife, I would like to give you a polite advice please go get a job. If you have your own income you won't have to be thinking of how to get things free. Your lawyer is trying to rip you off, don't be stupid. You are getting old it is not possible to be a high society by living off men like what you did in the past. Respect yourself by getting a job. Have your own income like every modern women. Taxpayer money is not for your private use.
This video is great. It really proved to me that some Americans are more cultural than I thought. Two thumbs up for you, Wit.
I, personally, like the king. But it's your speech that says "get the facts, think before you speak and ask yourself, are my actions helping or hurting" that is really touched. And it's this speech that is really needed in the current political situation of Thailand.
Here is the book that everyone should read before say any more bad things about the king, it will explain all. Any one search Google " 15yearsprison " it will explain everything.....
I like the king, honestly, but I support mocking videos. I am under no obligation, whatsoever, to like or respect any culture (even my own). I've seen video after video mocking Americans, our political leaders, our cultures (we have many, we're a large country), and even videos applauding our worst disasters (celebrating our deaths, not hate speech?). Growing up in this sort of culture, I honestly don't care an iota for how they feel about their king. We are not in Thailand.
I forgive those ignorant people who make obscene comments on things they don't really know about becasue they are "IGNORANT". I always thought that there's no way that non-Thais would truly understand why we respect highly of our King. Of course, it's a fact that his family is quite dysfunctional (just like many others). But because of what he's done to the Thai people, he deserves our wholehearted respect.
Right!I have a great education in Thailand and now i'm studying a board in California.We can proof how much we love our King and country, people who talking behind our King back is going to die or go to hell...WTF
all the shit lies from I know from the begining our culture we believe in King !!!
Please be respectful and try not to be rude !!! you better watch out.
I am respectful to King Bhumibol as a person, even though I don't personally know him except what I have seen from the national media (which could well be 'propaganda', this is just a theory). To be fair to those who owe it to the king, he should not be called names for no good reasons. However, I don't believe in the authority of king as God. It's also an insult telling people to die and go to hell, even to those who don't believe it exists. Do you feel you are able to respect my opinion too?

JK112981 He say to you robmackenzierm3537 Mother focker You little bitch how do you Say like that with my king Sorry david but This type have around the world.I can't see them. It's make me sick GAY!!!. He say like this.
flookzakub7 - I understand your passion for your feelings to make your comments but please refrain from calling him gay as a negative slur. I am gay and when you say that you insult me as well. Thanks.
it is what they want to believe and some of them have never ever seen or met him in person but through the medias, i was thinking the same thing as them until i did some research in google and the main part is that from this site, you mustn't judge the king just because of other pp said in here but look at it in the past what did you see or heard or did you get involve with his good work, but to me the King has played no part of my life,it was just simply being told he is the best King
You said "The King has played no part of my life" I think you have no knowledge about the history about Thailand especially related to the King at all. Look to countries around Thailand such as Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam or even if China, do you know why Thailand does not like those country. If we have not had the King, Thailand would be like those country particularly civil war, and your life will be like nowadays. Do research the history of Thailand much much more please.
it worked for both the govt and the king, we have the govt to run the country and the king at the centre, rightly or wrongly ,it s my opinion , you should learn to respect pp too, you can not compare thailand to those contries,thai pp always smarter than them, don't u agree with me?
I have doing PhD at the top ten university in the UK, and I love my King so much. According to your words about the low education of the people who love the King, is my education low?
Yes, what you wrote is quite correct! Those thai who love their Thai King have really low education....so they believe in "his majesty"....Indeed he didn't say much apart from a speech on his birthday, but he did a lot to the Thais. It must be difficult for those in the Western countries who have low education and norrow mind to understand.
Regards,
a low education thai...sorry I have only 2 bachelor degrees and a master degree.
@Ohmtenor many thai are stupid and love the king even though hes anti democracy.. just like in usa we have many dumb people ( republicans and conservatives)
Of course Thai people love their king. They have been told to since the first day they entered school, and told never to question the monarch. Just like North Koreans have been told to love Kim Jung il, and the Chinese to love Mao in the past.
As this king is a good man, it enforces the notion of "all Thais must love the King" even more, and he then become a worshiped icon in the country.
Same thing for Americans. They've been taught since kids that "the US is the greatest nation on earth".
anewday8888, The King doesn't like Mao and Kim Jung il because he never kills people like them. 60 years are long enough to prove himself to Thais. And we do NOT "must love", but we "JUST LOVE" like we love our parents. Please do more research about the history of Thailand before making comments from only you point of view.
Monarchy has long played a vital part in Thai history. Especially for the current Thai king, Bhumibol, he has spent a lot of his money to help people all around the country and devoted himself to improving people's living, especially in rural areas. That's why the Thais revere him so much. Moreover, he is not and will not be involved in any kinds of politics.
Some of you should see more than one perspective of this situation (which has long passed). The Thai people have great respect for their monarch, unlike a few other countries that share the same political system. I understand that for the sake of freedom of speech and expression, videos such as these can be publicly shown, but please, consider how those who have held His Majesty in their hearts for his past deeds would feel. These derogatory comments are insensitive and biased.
This is ridiculous why would You Tube take the video down there are plenty of things on here about are own president that a just a hateful. If the Thia king or Thia government doesn't want their people to see it so be it that is their country they can do what they want but this is America I have the write to see whatever I want and YouTube lost respect as a free open place... Thats all I have to say
There are two main reasons why your logic is flawed. The most basic reason is that You Tube does not, by their own guidelines, allow anything that is deemed to be hate speech to be posted on here. Another reason is the point I was making in my video, by what right do you have to view something that is solely meant to offend and insult someone else? You sir, do not have that right under freedom of speech or any other 'right'. It's called being a decent an enlightened human being, check it out.
Regardless of You Tubes guidelines I as an American should be able to watch whatever I want and I feel that is my right. I can learn about the KKK on there web site and if I'm not mistaken they don't have socially excepted views. I can learn how to make drugs and weapons. I can watch bush and Obama hate videos but I can't watch a video about a King that controls his people regardless of weither he has done good or not. Regardless of if he deserves it...............
Man, You can't compare Thailand And America we created our country, we got our own language and old culture unlike america Christopher Columbus killed most of the inhabitants of North America and South America, thug life...they can do w/e they want there, no wonder about this news Kids see mum(25) raped on YouTube (UK) or 8 FL teens beat up friend To Make YouTube Video...what a shame white trash
"Hate speech", YT is full of it, I have been following the Israel/Gaza issues and the hate speech towards Jews and us Infidels by the Arabs is nothing short of a declaration of war (Jihad)against us. YT are doing nothing about this!

The King of Thailand is what Football, cricket, plasma TV and alcohol is as a tool of control in the west. I took my Thai wife, who is from Ubon to see the Kings summer (Ayyuthaya) and winter palace (Chiang Mai) and his grand Palace, and after seeing his wealth (compared to the poverty of her family) wants nothing more to do with him.
I agree with your first sentence but have you asked your wife as she is Thai how she feels about this? Have you looked into the King's history as Thailand's Monarch and tried to see things from her perspective? It's easy for a Westerner to put the world on Western terms but that rarely if ever would fit the way the world actually is.
It is monarchy, there are not mostly poor. He is rich but doesn't spend only on what you called a tool of control in the west. He also use his money on other purposes to help thailand same with when IMF hit thailand, when the country went through that.

The Thai, culture of chef, newly born nation. big abition to steal.The thai might be richer in Khmer, but the Thai is starting to go down. The stealer will someday go into jail, and it is almost time for its nation to collapse.Khmer has every advantage over the Thai now. Investment opportunity, World Heritage Temple, Development Opportunity, What does the Thai have?
I have seen you in many videos before, Vuthapich. But as i've told you, if you want to argue about the current situation in the border line, go do it in those videos! Stop spreading hatred in every videos about Thailand. The more you do, the more people will hate you Khmers. Please don't do it in these kinds of videos.

Thais have to pay for everything from there education to there women.....which arent of any high standard....Remember buffalo an educated man is judged by his English and in a country as superficial as Thailand that applies also...008 improve your english first if you want to be taken seriously
OK that's enough. I let you continue to post comments since you seemed to have some valid points in the beginning however your posts have become nothing but hateful cut downs of Thailand. That's the point I was making that freedom of speech is NOT a freedom to harass or insult someone else. If you have a valid and constructive insight that is one thing but that's not what you are posting, In short, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. You're now banned from my channel.
hehehe... so it seems we've adopted the evil practice from your pollutions.
man, i could imagine you having to BUY everything when you are here in Thailand. You should look at yourself in the mirror, why so!
btw, you should improve you english before telling others! my best advice, stay with your crocks and forget about seeing the real world outside your imaginations!

Austalia and America dont take Thailand seriously 008 your poor standard of english indicates to me you are nothing more than uneducated fool as my american friend once told me Thailand is an example of what the rest of the world dont want to be a dirty, third world uneducated country....Australia and America have more money than Thailand ever will
gazzup, as i've already mentioned, i am not a native english speaker, i don't think english language is relevance here. if you judge people based on english, you should broaden up your mind a little, mate!
didn't you know the enlish laugh at your 'english', too?
if you are so despised of anything Thai, why bother? ...why don't you stay in your big big world of yours? that should save you a lot of money!

Thailand will never recover from offending Foreigners and closing the airports keeping decent people hostage not allowing them to return to ther loved ones..Thailand is a disgrace and has learnt nothing from the past events with protests starting up again... everyone who oversees the country should feel great shame...the west will no longer help Thailand which is predominately a poor 3rd world country
we never offend foreigners and closing down the airports weren't the act of the protesters, but the authorities, including the tower staff's decision for fear of being unsafe for passengers to travel.
unfortunately, those who were unable to travel in or out were the victims of political power struggle.
besides, your news about american support was archaic! you should be a little undated!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
008th your poor english in your posted comment is a further validation of a Thais lack of education...I believe if Thais put more effort into work and learning than perhaps they would move forward instead of there country being seen as followers instead of inovators ....Thailand cant rely on the rest of the world to carry them forever...the west has already built its entire infastructure because they have not had the skills to it for themselves
so when does one's english define the person's wisdom? since english is not my mother toungue, nor do i claim to possess the queen's english, i think i could get the points across, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to respond.
don't give me the west shit, you are neither east nor west. ...just way down under!

Australia is one of the most developed and educated countries in the world if not why are your doctors apprentices in our hospitals? 008 you are the product of the ignorant Thai fool we talk about and if you dont know the history of your own country how could you possibly know that of other...You need to kiss the ass of the usa for saving your country from being part of Japan and you need to start reading history book instead of comic
yeah right, 'one of the most developed and educated countries in the world'. you are a product of ignorant fool thinking he's the only race who's wise!
you claim we don't know our own history!? ...PROOF IT!!!
instead of picking on us, why don't you go tend your crocks in your backyard first!
americans laugh at you. english laugh at you. yet you wanna try to pretend you are no less equal to them!

thailand is a basket case...and thai people are very stupid as shown by the average Thai only having a sixth grage education so how could they possibly know anything much about the history of there country....Thias travel to other countries to buy unviverity degrees because they would not possibly gaduate any other way...they are laughed at in well educated countries like the usa and australia...that a fact
yeah right. you put down us Thais thinking you are of superior race, huh!? what a bunch of bullshit! we earn our GRADUATES, pardon your typo, they way everybody does from any campus.

I honestly believe that most educated westerners understand more about Thailand and its history than Thais...Though I dont think Thais would ever admit to this as they seem to accept only what they are told.
Foreigners simply do not understand Thailand They don't respect for its time-honored traditions Of course they may be accomplished journalists, respected academics Unlike most Thais, their studies have taken them well beyond the comic-book version of Thai history taught in Thai schools It's a shame, that the Thai people can read English in increasingly large numbers. Heavens forbid they would seek out any information other than the stupor-inducing propaganda disseminated by the Thai press.
"perception rather than reality". The thing with lese majeste complaints is that someone makes a complaint against you, no matter how flimsly the charges, any prudent person has to hire a lawyer (when the offence carries a jail sentence of 3-15 years do you really want to dismiss it?). You'll have to go to the police station, be interviewed etc. If you are unlucky enough you might not even get bail pending trial. These are all risks. What about the complaint? It costs them nothing.
Awsome!..Great speech. I'm saying this not becasue you say good things about Thailand, Thais and the King but what you say are pausible and reasonable. Thank you so much.
Nice video... People sure like to tout their freedoms, but like much less understanding them.
Freedom of speech is to guarantee one's right to voice their grievances, state their opinions, or give their point of view.
It has nothing to do with being vulgar, insulting people, or otherwise disrupting intelligent discourse. By abusing this right, one becomes more like an animal and less like a true patriot, men & women of freedom.
It's not like that. The king himself felt guilty when people are sent to jail for criticizing the king. But whether you like the king or not, you should at least have some morality to show some respect to the royal family.
I don't care, I'll post whatever I want whether it offends people or not, I'm exercising my First Amendment right, if you don't like it, don't watch it. We've all learned a phrase in pre-school when we were kids, it said "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt". That phrase and the First Amendment goes hand in hand.

@ChaiyoPantamit - If you listen carefully I am submitting to no one. Whether the King is good or not or the monarchy is right or wrong is not the issue. My only message is this - if you got a beef about something then man up and try to change things. But don't think being a nasty, mean spirited little ass that acts like a kid throwing tantrums is gonna win you any points. Be bigger and better than that and if you can't then you're welcome to just shut up. Have a good day. : )

@Wit - Oh really? In your video you mouth the same lines as a royalist, almost verbatim. "if you got a beef about something then man up and try to change things".--That's what I'm doing man, but because of this stupid lese majeste law which you favour, is stopping me from going all the way.
ChaiyoPantamit 1 year ago
@ChaiyoPantamit Dude don't put words in my mouth. I don't favor Lese Majeste and never have. It's an archaic and unjust law that is grossly abused to favor political gain as well as mocking the King AND true democracy. Claiming that it's got your hands tied is bullocks and a cop out. You want to man up and effect change? Than be a leader, be innovative and find ways to work around the problem so things are better for all people not just elites or one party over another. Verbal tantrums (1/2)

Thai king brain wash Thai people from the past many years. Thai king want to protect himself by creating the law called “ less majesty law” . If anyone mention or criticised king and loyal family ,he or she must be in jail. What a dictator!! This is a 21 century!! What an old fashion way to treat human-being like us!! Please wake up!!

@todgerbulge - I think you answered your own question while aslso contradicting yourself. It would seem to me someone who has 'spent years' in a country living with a system he so despises most likely is either a: profiting from it, b: is really clueless about it or c: is a compassionate individual who seeks honest change for the better good of society.
Re-reading your comment I find no facts to support your claims nor compassion for it seems, as well as any justification for living there.

Hey llHyRaXll I,
You come across as a pious individual... although your comments make sense, the undeniable fact is the Thai Monarchy is nothing but a leach on the public purse string and the Thai economy at large.
In reality the Thai King does nothing for the Thai people and never intervenes when his subjects need him most, like right now when they're under attack from their own government. The UK Monarchy for example can sack parliament if they misuse their power just to stay in power.

Thanks for your posting and I remember the King of Thailand had himself said he opposes the Lese Majeste law, saying that he is human and he felt the public should be allowed to criticize him, and if one makes a criticism, he wants to be informed of it, so that he can do better.
Unfortunately he is unable to remove the law since only Thai Parliament can do that but they will not cause the King is beloved and revered, but the King pardons those who criticize him.

Interesting video. You've expressed your opinion strongly kissing butt I guess you are in Thailand or plan to visit so you want to secure your visa. It's true a lot of Thais want freedom of speech here and even to talk publicly about the royal family. I didn't see the vid this is based on but I would guess that it is from repressed anger over the Thai reality. You really know little about Thailand's problems. It has no truths recorded in its history because of lack of freedom of speech. Its sad.

Thai censorship is appalling. Legitimate, levelheaded criticism of the monarchy in books, magazines, etc. are banned. Anna and the King was banned even though it makes Rama IV look good. Surely, most people can forgive the artistic license of a movie.
Not all Thai people unconditionally love their king. Ask the rural poor who supported Thaksin if they adore him for his silence during the 2006 military coup, which overthrew a democratically-elected regime.
2009AN2009 2 years ago 3
Some think that the movie portrays inaccurate historical facts, like Rama IV romancing Anna. I have no opinion about this, I wish I had a time machine to travel back in time. Then again, being just an ordinary man, 'a vessel', at that time it's next to impossible to get to the king without risking your life. I wish I could tell you what was going on. I don't think it's a good idea to ban such movies either. If something's not right then we should be able to criticize and analyze it openly.

If your history and culture can't withstand criticism and ridicule from several YouTube videos, then there are major weaknesses in your society.
You make a rather weak analogy of mocking the king to mocking someone's parents. The king is a public figure while most parents are not, so that makes him fair game.

If you call unreasonable bantering and insults 'constructive criticism,' then YOU are clearly misunderstood. No one appreciates other people disrespecting something they hold dear for no good reason. If you can't help yourself but be ignorant of other people's cultures and traditions, do yourself a favor and don't expose yourself to it then. Disrespect for other cultures is the worst in any case.

Growing up in this sort of culture, I honestly don't care an iota for how they feel about their king. We are not in Thailand.

I am respectful to King Bhumibol as a person, even though I don't personally know him except what I have seen from the national media (which could well be 'propaganda', this is just a theory). To be fair to those who owe it to the king, he should not be called names for no good reasons. However, I don't believe in the authority of king as God. It's also an insult telling people to die and go to hell, even to those who don't believe it exists. Do you feel you are able to respect my opinion too?

Of course Thai people love their king. They have been told to since the first day they entered school, and told never to question the monarch. Just like North Koreans have been told to love Kim Jung il, and the Chinese to love Mao in the past.
As this king is a good man, it enforces the notion of "all Thais must love the King" even more, and he then become a worshiped icon in the country.
Same thing for Americans. They've been taught since kids that "the US is the greatest nation on earth".

Monarchy has long played a vital part in Thai history. Especially for the current Thai king, Bhumibol, he has spent a lot of his money to help people all around the country and devoted himself to improving people's living, especially in rural areas. That's why the Thais revere him so much. Moreover, he is not and will not be involved in any kinds of politics.
b9rascal 3 years ago 2
Some of you should see more than one perspective of this situation (which has long passed). The Thai people have great respect for their monarch, unlike a few other countries that share the same political system. I understand that for the sake of freedom of speech and expression, videos such as these can be publicly shown, but please, consider how those who have held His Majesty in their hearts for his past deeds would feel. These derogatory comments are insensitive and biased.

There are two main reasons why your logic is flawed. The most basic reason is that You Tube does not, by their own guidelines, allow anything that is deemed to be hate speech to be posted on here. Another reason is the point I was making in my video, by what right do you have to view something that is solely meant to offend and insult someone else? You sir, do not have that right under freedom of speech or any other 'right'. It's called being a decent an enlightened human being, check it out.

Regardless of You Tubes guidelines I as an American should be able to watch whatever I want and I feel that is my right. I can learn about the KKK on there web site and if I'm not mistaken they don't have socially excepted views. I can learn how to make drugs and weapons. I can watch bush and Obama hate videos but I can't watch a video about a King that controls his people regardless of weither he has done good or not. Regardless of if he deserves it...............

"Hate speech", YT is full of it, I have been following the Israel/Gaza issues and the hate speech towards Jews and us Infidels by the Arabs is nothing short of a declaration of war (Jihad)against us. YT are doing nothing about this!

The King of Thailand is what Football, cricket, plasma TV and alcohol is as a tool of control in the west. I took my Thai wife, who is from Ubon to see the Kings summer (Ayyuthaya) and winter palace (Chiang Mai) and his grand Palace, and after seeing his wealth (compared to the poverty of her family) wants nothing more to do with him.
supatipanno 3 years ago
I agree with your first sentence but have you asked your wife as she is Thai how she feels about this? Have you looked into the King's history as Thailand's Monarch and tried to see things from her perspective? It's easy for a Westerner to put the world on Western terms but that rarely if ever would fit the way the world actually is.
Wit 3 years ago
It is monarchy, there are not mostly poor. He is rich but doesn't spend only on what you called a tool of control in the west. He also use his money on other purposes to help thailand same with when IMF hit thailand, when the country went through that.

The Thai, culture of chef, newly born nation. big abition to steal.The thai might be richer in Khmer, but the Thai is starting to go down. The stealer will someday go into jail, and it is almost time for its nation to collapse.Khmer has every advantage over the Thai now. Investment opportunity, World Heritage Temple, Development Opportunity, What does the Thai have?

I have seen you in many videos before, Vuthapich. But as i've told you, if you want to argue about the current situation in the border line, go do it in those videos! Stop spreading hatred in every videos about Thailand. The more you do, the more people will hate you Khmers. Please don't do it in these kinds of videos.

Thais have to pay for everything from there education to there women.....which arent of any high standard....Remember buffalo an educated man is judged by his English and in a country as superficial as Thailand that applies also...008 improve your english first if you want to be taken seriously
gazzapazza 3 years ago
OK that's enough. I let you continue to post comments since you seemed to have some valid points in the beginning however your posts have become nothing but hateful cut downs of Thailand. That's the point I was making that freedom of speech is NOT a freedom to harass or insult someone else. If you have a valid and constructive insight that is one thing but that's not what you are posting, In short, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. You're now banned from my channel.

gazzup, as i've already mentioned, i am not a native english speaker, i don't think english language is relevance here. if you judge people based on english, you should broaden up your mind a little, mate!
didn't you know the enlish laugh at your 'english', too?
if you are so despised of anything Thai, why bother? ...why don't you stay in your big big world of yours? that should save you a lot of money!

Thailand will never recover from offending Foreigners and closing the airports keeping decent people hostage not allowing them to return to ther loved ones..Thailand is a disgrace and has learnt nothing from the past events with protests starting up again... everyone who oversees the country should feel great shame...the west will no longer help Thailand which is predominately a poor 3rd world country
gazzapazza 3 years ago
we never offend foreigners and closing down the airports weren't the act of the protesters, but the authorities, including the tower staff's decision for fear of being unsafe for passengers to travel.
unfortunately, those who were unable to travel in or out were the victims of political power struggle.
besides, your news about american support was archaic! you should be a little undated!

008th your poor english in your posted comment is a further validation of a Thais lack of education...I believe if Thais put more effort into work and learning than perhaps they would move forward instead of there country being seen as followers instead of inovators ....Thailand cant rely on the rest of the world to carry them forever...the west has already built its entire infastructure because they have not had the skills to it for themselves

Foreigners simply do not understand Thailand They don't respect for its time-honored traditions Of course they may be accomplished journalists, respected academics Unlike most Thais, their studies have taken them well beyond the comic-book version of Thai history taught in Thai schools It's a shame, that the Thai people can read English in increasingly large numbers. Heavens forbid they would seek out any information other than the stupor-inducing propaganda disseminated by the Thai press.

"perception rather than reality". The thing with lese majeste complaints is that someone makes a complaint against you, no matter how flimsly the charges, any prudent person has to hire a lawyer (when the offence carries a jail sentence of 3-15 years do you really want to dismiss it?). You'll have to go to the police station, be interviewed etc. If you are unlucky enough you might not even get bail pending trial. These are all risks. What about the complaint? It costs them nothing.

Nice video... People sure like to tout their freedoms, but like much less understanding them.
Freedom of speech is to guarantee one's right to voice their grievances, state their opinions, or give their point of view.
It has nothing to do with being vulgar, insulting people, or otherwise disrupting intelligent discourse. By abusing this right, one becomes more like an animal and less like a true patriot, men & women of freedom.

It's not like that. The king himself felt guilty when people are sent to jail for criticizing the king. But whether you like the king or not, you should at least have some morality to show some respect to the royal family.
