    In this episode, we were delighted to have with us Andrew Marshall, the author of A Kingdom in Crisis: Thailand’s Struggle for Democracy in the Twenty-First Century. The conversation covers the public reverence and deification of the Thai monarchy and a shift in attitude with the ascension of Rama X. 泭

    We cover the l癡se majest矇 law and look at the interaction of the monarchy with other facets of Thai society, including the judiciary and ruling elite. Finally, we speak a bit about the ongoing protests in Thailand to understand public sentiment and the importance of reforming the monarchy in Thailand.
