DO NOT EVER talk disrespectfully of the royal family - it's an offence that could land you in jail. An Australian teacher living in Thailand was recently jailed for writing a book with some less-than-flattering comments about the Crown Prince. I once saw a tourist on the beach in Phuket who wanted to stop a bank note from blowing away (he was paying for some food) by nailing it with his foot. The scene that ensued was downright bizarre. The locals were furious, the police were called in and the poor man was the subject of an avalanche of insults from the locals. Reason: the King's image is on every Thai bank note!

They done want to "work things out". Trying to understand the issues will more likely get you into more trouble than just letting it alone.
