Rule
of
law
in
Thailand
has
its
own
characteristics
due
to
its
particular
history
and
development.
It
has
deteriorated
during
the
political
crisis
over
the
past
10-15
years
during
which
we
saw
the
lese
majesty
charge
skyrocket,
especially
as
the
consequences
of
the
two
military
coups
in
2006
and
2014.
Unlike
other
crimes,
most
people
who
are
arrested
for
lese
majesty
confessed
to
the
crime.
Why?
What
happened
to
them
and
what
are
the
conditions
that
led
to
their
confessions
even
though
most
of
them
were
not
physically
abused
or
tortured
by
the
police?
The
answers
are
telling
about
the
history
and
the
current
state
of
the
rule
of
law
in
Thailand.
