Da King and I


Something tells me "Da Torpedo" (Daranee Chanchoengsilpakul) is not going to give up her fight after the court's decision. It's Da's turn now to be "the thorn" in the side of the "institution". News of her trial hit the headlines across the world, and has become a cause célèbre. The Thai government's attempt to keep her trial secret has backfired, and the whole world is now talking about this gritty little woman.

Compare Da Torpedo's courage with the cowardice shown by the Thai king. Bhumibol Adulyadej now runs away from Thailand's problems, keeping a low profile in some far away luxurious palace, where he can easily shirk his responsibilities to his people.

Thais across the nation are now beginning to realise that their king no longer cares what happens to them, as was demonstrated by this case. As one Thai individual wrote to me and said recently: "All that bad men need to succeed is for good men to remain quiet".

In her rally speech Duranee said that the thai king would either have to adapt and rule in Thailand like the monarchs of Japan and England do, or perish like the monarchs of France or Nepal did. The Thai king seems to have made his choice.
