lese majeste

An amnesty for political offenses in Thailand, covering actions from Jan. 1, 2005 to July 15, 2025, took effect but excludes serious cases including lese majeste and corruption. The Peaceful Society Promotion Act was introduced to promote reconciliation, but the exclusion of these high-profile crimes has drawn criticism that it will not fully resolve political divisions.

A political amnesty law has taken effect in Thailand for offenses committed over the past two decades. However, the law specifically excludes lese majeste from its scope.
