  Just put in prison. With the new King there is a lot to be critical of, but for whatever reason he has held back on imprisoning people. The junta has nevertheless been quite harsh on critics of the regime.

      Well the Thais are really efficient at organising themselves and have an excellent public health and medical system. However, the notion that they can keep a secret like that is laughable. Thailand has actually reopened to Chinese tourists to some extent.

        Even if they were doing a bad job you wouldn't say so to avoid going to jail.
