You can go to prison in Thailand for insulting the king. That’s not chill. That’s not a place people should go.

You can also go into prison from insulting anyone in Thailand if they are petty enough or rich enough to pursue legal action but that doesn't mean you will.

You can be charged with speech. That’s incredibly fucked up, dystopian even.
