Thai Prince Engages With Notable Critic of Royal Insult Legislation

by Cecilia

A son of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn made a surprising appearance at an exhibition focused on the country’s royal insult law. The event was organized by an exiled critic of the Thai monarchy, Pavin Chachavalpongpun, who is a prominent academic that fled Thailand to evade charges related to violating the royal defamation law.
