Thailand has a particularly turbulent political history. It's got a
lot of beautiful beaches, but it's also got military coups and a
monarchy that's central to its national character. It's also one of
the few places in the world with lèse majesté laws, which is tricky
because their current king is quite a colourful character... A
recent protest movement has been in the news a bit lately, and in
this episode of Squiz Shortcuts, we'll take a look at why Thailand
is unique amongst southeast Asian nations, how its monarchy is
protected, and what demonstrators are risking by calling for change
to the way the country is governed. Check out The Squiz Today email
