"เยาวชนปลดแอก" โดยAndrew MacGregor Marshall@zenjournalist

THREAD: One extraordinary thing about Saturday’s pro-democracy protest in Bangkok was the number of signs attacking King Rama X. Criticism on social media has become increasingly bold, but it’s amazing to see Thais openly opposing the monarchy on the streets. #เยาวชนปลดแอก 1/7
The slogan ไม่โอ was chanted frequently and also appeared on several placards. This literally means “Not OK” but also has a hidden meaning — “We don’t want O”. O is part of a common Thai nickname for the Vajiralongkorn — Sia-O. 2/7

Several slogans referenced the plight of Tiwakorn Vithiton, a 45-year-old Thai man who was forcibly confined to a psychiatric hospital after sharing photos on social media of him wearing a T-shirt that said he had lost faith in the monarchy. 3/7
The slogans included: “We didn’t lose faith, because we never had faith.” “We had no faith in you since the beginning.” 4/7

Other placards openly mocked Vajiralongkorn’s infamous obsession with women. He had been married four times, nd spends most of his time in a luxury hotel in Germany with a harem of around 20 women. For example: “Pervert, only interested in pussy.” “Crazy about pussy.” 5/7

Some slogans were even more directly anti-monarchist, for example: “You fucker R.10. When will we get democracy?” “Overthrow the monarchy, support a new constitution.” 6/7

When slogans like these are being openly displayed in Bangkok, it is clear Thailand is entering a new era. Respect for the monarch is collapsing and people are becoming increasingly courageous in speaking out. #เยาวชนปลดแอก 7/7
