BANGKOK – Royal Thai Police chief Pol. Gen. Somyot Poompanmuang has imposed an order to ban the import and distribution of the book entitled “A Kingdom at Crisis” into Thailand.
The book is not the first to be banned after being deemed critical of the royals. In 2006, an unauthorized biography of His Majesty, The King Never Smiles by Paul Handley, was banned.
Mr Marshall was not immediately available for comment. But in an earlier post on Twitter he said: “Many thanks to the Royal Thai Police for banning my new @ZedBooks publication ‘A Kingdom in Crisis’. Great for publicity!”
