Thai PM urges moviegoers to stand to respect king during anthem
Thailand's prime minister on Thursday exhorted moviegoers not to abandon a decades-old tradition of standing en masse to respect the country's powerful king during the royal anthem that is played before every film. The comments came as King Maha Vajiralongkorn, 69, was reportedly in Germany on his first documented trip abroad since pro-democracy protests last year morphed into once-unthinkable open criticism of the monarchy, including questioning his prolonged absences from Thailand. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha expressed concern some Thais are now "afraid" to stand for the royal anthem, the latest sign of change in a kingdom where the monarch is constitutionally enshrined to be held in "revered worship".
