One last thought from a farang.

The Thai government miscalculated the terrible consequences of imposing lese majeste law on farangs, and they still don't appear to understand the rage that such humiliating public arrests provoke in some farangs.

The more the Thai government tries to impose their will on foreigners through lese majeste law, the more they damage themselves, their monarch and their nation. Behold the mocking videos on Youtube et al.

Some Thai royalists fail to understand that farangs too have "culture" and values. But above all, an incredibly strong sense of justice; and no amount of repressive laws can ever diminish that. Thais should understand that causing pain and anguish to others in the name of "love" is morally wrong.

Nationalist Thais have only themselves to blame for their beloved one's fall from grace. Oliver Jufer and Harry Nicolaides may never get the apology due to them, but a pound of royal flesh will equally suffice.
