Chakri Family Feuds and Thailand's Royal Succession



Thailand's royal succession is described by the mainstream Thai media as a "sensitive" topic. It is illegal to even discuss this issue in Thailand, even though the outcome will undoubtedly effect both Thais and foreigners alike, especially with regard to lese majeste law.

With so much at stake, including the rights and freedoms of millions of Thai people, Thailand's royal succession has become a free speech issue, and should now be discussed openly without fear of prosecution. Thai people are not responsible for the internal feuding of their royal family, so why should they pay the price with their liberty for discussing it.

Thais have the right to know why His Special Highness Prince (HSH) Juthawachara, has had his passport revoked, and why the king of Thailand no longer wishes his grandson to return to Thailand. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn is not a popular figure among Thais.

Thai people will never willingly accept "Sia O" as their king or porn Srirasmi as their Queen. Shouldn't they should have the right to choose their own king and Queen? Maybe then, it will no longer be necessary to legislate respect with lese majeste law.

"National security" is just an excuse to gag the press and the people of Thailand, at a crucial moment in their nation's history. Only by open discussion on the issue of royal succession, will the right choice of future king be made.

Long Live Thailand.
