A son of Thailand King Maha Vajiralongkorn attended an exhibition about the nation’s royal insult law organized by an exiled critic of the monarchy, a month after the ex-prince visited the land of his ancestors.
Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse, a former prince who left Thailand after the divorce of his parents in 1996 and lives in New York, was pictured at the event on Monday talking to Pavin Chachavalpongpun, a prominent academic who fled Thailand to avoid being charged with violating the royal defamation law.
“I love and worship the monarchy, but I believe it’s better to ‘know’ than not,” Vacharaesorn, 42, wrote on Facebook after visiting Pavin’s exhibition at New York’s Columbia University, which highlighted the lives of some Thais who have been charged with the controversial law. “Everyone has their own opinion from their own experiences. Ignoring them doesn’t make their views and opinion disappear.”
Pavin, an associate professor at Kyoto University’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies, said he was honored by Vacharaesorn’s attendance.
