King Obsession

Here is an example of the obsession with the Thai royal family in this country. There are things like this all over Bangkok plastered with pictures of the king and his relatives. People are even more obsessed with the king than they are with Brad Pitt back home. Golden arches over the road with tons of pictures of the king.
A close up shot... Lots of pictures of the king (all of them seem to be in his younger days because he just turned 80.) When you are in Thailand, don't even think about saying anything bad about him... or else.
