Personally speaking, I find that he encourages debate in the right direction, but contradicts himself annoyingly often.

The past few days he has been blocking certain people posting on his Facebook citing the reason: Abuse. That's fine for the people who are threatening him with violence, however I've noticed on more than one occasion he has blocked people for the sole reason of gaining an upper hand.

Anyway people, thoughts?

I'm really confused about how it all works and how the King has come out on top.

So the government was overthrown in 2014, and has been replaced by the military, on accounts of corruption. However, this was given legitimacy by the King - who is now dead. So why did the King condone this? I don't really get it.

Also - how come so many people are in in Thai prisons and no one seems to care. And how come they protest about corruption but don't seem to care about democracy??

Thanks for your help in advance!

Since the late King's death, his eldest son has obviously stepped up and is the ruling king. HOWEVER, I keep seeing the Queen's the flag flying. What is the significance of this, if any? What is the queen's role now that her husband has passed and her son is ruling?

There was also some contention about the princess, and I know she has made herself extremely popular in Thailand, especially with her public works projects in education. What is her role now?
