She’s dead, and has been dead since yesterday although doctors didn’t dare confirm it until they tried everything, and palace has not yet been honest. I understand why Thai-based media can’t tell the whole story but why are you reporting things that are clearly untrue? 1/2

 

This is what really disappoints me about media in Thailand. I know you can’t tell the truth but you don’t have to conspire in a lie, if you know something is propaganda just don’t say it. She is dead so why share the pretence she is alive? 2/2·
