Did you know the King and I is banned in Thailand? They don't like the way the royal family is portrayed. The musical, the movie and the music are all banned, if you are caught with it inside the country you could be jailed. Have you seen
Broke Down Palace? I'm so not reliving a moment of Claire Danes so I can watch
Anna and the King.
I say however, it's good to be the king, as one of the world's longest serving monarchs, the Thai people love their king. His face is everywhere on everything. He even has his own anthem, we played it before every show. Like a game of red light, green light, the minute the anthem is played everyone freezes until its over as a sign of respect. Its very pretty, listen
here. And if you want to know about ,Bhumibol Adulyadej, aka King Rama IX, well our friends at
wikipedia can teach you all sorts of stuff.
