It's in His Hands

King Bhumibol Adulyadej, has been given one last chance to redeen himself in the eyes of the world. But what will His Majesty do with that second chance? Will he continue in the same destructive path that has taken Thailand to the brink of chaos? Will he once again remain silent, when all around him power hungry men do their best to destroy Thailand's reputation and future?

The Thai king has done many good things for his people. That was his job. That's what is expected of any monarch, if they are to earn the respect of their people. But His Majesty has also failed miseraly, by looking on passively as lese majeste law is abused and foreigners and Thais alike are humiliated in his name.

At a time of his life when His Majesty should be respected and revered by all, and not just those who have benefited most from his reign, Thailand's king has become a figure of ridicule, mocked and humiliated just as Oliver Jufer, Harry Nicholaides, Da Torpedo and Suwicha Thakhor were demeaned in front of the world's cameras. They didn't deserve that. But perhaps His Majesty does deserve it, for neglecting his duties, not having a heart and living a life of excess.

The Thai king knows what he has to do in order to regain people's respect. If His Majesty is not up to the task, then he should abdicate and hand over the reigns of power to someone who is capable of bringing justice to Thailand. If no such person exists, then it is time to bid farewell to the Chakri Dynasty.

It's in your hands, your Majesty.
