I doubt it. There are strong lese majeste laws in Thailand, and a strict culture of reverence for the monarchy, if I understand correctly. I had a friend who was living in Thailand when the more recent version of "Mrs. Anna's" story, starring Jodie Foster and it basically made it look as though she and the children won a battle securing the succession (or independence, or some such thing). Many Thai people were quite upset,
apparently. Anna L.'s original book remains the subject of harsh criticism as well, as I understand it.
