Thailand is careful in disseminating news about the royal family as the country takes their “Lese majeste” law seriously. Thai newspapers, and radio and television stations have rarely been charged with the offense of lese majeste as these usually follow rules in covering news of the royal family, avoiding any reporting of sensitive matters. Lese Majeste is classified as an Offense Relating to the Security of the Kingdom under the Thai Penal Code. Such violation constitutes imprisonment of three to fifteen years.
