What the actual fuck?

Thai king Bhumibol Adulyadej (left) next to Queen Sirikit and Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn.

I'd like to start the insult by saying the queen is fat and stupid!

Would it be wrong to send SMS messages to people in Thailand (for example, $cientologist Marcel Guenter, from Germany and the UK) and say something like:

LOL, King Bhumibol has stupid hair!

Its not a joke. Insult the Thai royal family at your own peril. The king is revered by many Thais as a semi-god.

Lèse majesté

Scope of the law

Although Bhumibol is held in great respect by many Thais, he is also protected by lèse majesté laws which allow critics to be jailed for three to fifteen years. The laws were toughened during the dictatorship of royalist Premier Tanin Kraivixien, such that criticism of any member of the royal family, the royal development projects, the royal institution, the Chakri Dynasty, or any previous Thai King was also banned. Jail terms for Thai citizens committing lèse majesté are usually harsher than for foreigners.

Politician Veera Musikapong was jailed and banned from politics for lèse majesté, despite the palace's opinion that the remarks were harmless. Frenchman Lech Tomacz Kisielwicz refused to switch off a reading light on a Thai Airways flight he shared with two Thai princesses and was jailed under lèse majesté for two weeks after his flight landed in Bangkok. He was acquitted after apologizing to the King. Thossaporn Ruethaiprasertsung was arrested and charged with lèse majesté for making photocopies of leaflets with contents allegedly against the monarchy and the Privy Council.

In 2009, Daranee "Da Torpedo" Chanchoengsilpakul was sentenced to 18 years in prison without suspension for "intending to insult" Bhumibol and Sirikit at a political protest. She did not actually mention the monarchs in her speech (she criticized, among other things, the "ruling class"), however, the court ruled that the prosecution "brought evidence that makes it possible to interpret that the defendant meant the King and Queen Sirikit." Social critic Sulak Sivaraksa has been charged several times with lèse majesté, but has always been acquitted.

Arrests have also occurred for sending text messages (SMSs) criticizing Bhumibol - although Bhumibol was not the recipient of the messages.

During the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva, numerous people were charged with insulting Bhumibol using body language.
