	Culture and media of Thailand
		Thailand is a constitutional monarchy and the King is extremely respected and revered.
		Thailand's political system is officially classified as a constitutional monarchy, but the Thai constitution stipulates that the king be 'enthroned in a position of revered workship' and not be exposed 'to any sort of accusation or action'.
		One of Thailand's more outspoken intellectuals, Sulak Sivaraksa, was arrested in the early 1980s for lese-majesty because of a passing reference to the king's fondness for yachting (Sulak referred to His Majesty as 'the skipper') and again in 1991 when he referred to the royal family as 'ordinary people'.
