As far as I am aware the words include respect to the Deleted and country. The UK National Anthem has the words God save our Gracious Queen. I have always stood up for that Anthem too. What you do is up to you. Obviously it’s not up to me. Nor her. You seem to think that people need to actively show respect because of your (and this Thai Karen’s) beliefs. Are you saying had she shown respect she’d avoided a slap? Is that along the same lines as a woman who doesn’t wear a bikini can avoid rape or a teacher who doesn’t draw the prophet can avoid having his head cut off? You’re excusing violent behavior. 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Thailand is not a modern society. It has all the "objects" of modernity, but not the ideas. That's why it has been hitherto incapable of adding to modernity. It only consumes it. That's why the protestors are pushing for change. Edited October 28, 2020 by Enoon 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I envy the French, Americans, Germans, Italians and Welsh! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Gillyflower 546 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 When I was a child in Australia, everybody stood for God Save etc at the cinema or at school every morning. No one would have dared sit down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DrTuner 24,558 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Ah, the good old anthem, courtesy of Phibun, the original military dictator. I guess during his reign she would've been shot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Straight Up ! Its a sign of respect ,tradition and values ! If you don't stand it shows disrespect for others who have sacrificed so much in the struggle to persevere for the future of one's country!
