The case of Thai minister Jakrapob Penkair illustrates very clearly how lese majeste law has become a political liability for Thailand. It seems any individual can be accused of "insulting" the Thai king, by his political rivals, even when they are innocent.
Thai police, of course, are more than happy to investigate and prosecute those they consider have broken this strict law, making normal political discussion on issues which affect ordinary Thai people practically impossible.
As a result of lese majeste law, the king of Thailand has become the biggest obstacle to democracy in Thailand. Interesting video from stoplesemajeste.
