An April Fool's prank tweeted by staff at budget airline Thai Vietjet could lead to criminal charges after an activist lawyer filed a complaint with police alleging it had insulted Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn.
-- which make defaming the monarchy punishable by up to 15 years in prison -- against staff of the airline.
The tweet did not mention King Vajiralongkorn, 69, who is believed to spend much of his time in Germany, or his Nan province-born royal consort, Sineenat Wongvajiraphakdi. Student-led protests in recent years have seen some activists openly criticizing the king for time spent outside the country, among other things. At least 183 people have been charged with insulting the monarchy since the protests began in 2020.
Srisuwan is well-known in Thailand as a prolific filer of complaints with police, once telling the Bangkok Post he had counted over 1,000 filings including for consumer fraud, corruption and environmental issues. Reuters could not determine how many of his complaints have led to prosecutions.
