: I doubt it. There are strong lese majeste
: laws in Thailand, and a strict culture of
: reverence for the monarchy, if I understand

: 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
