No way could you poke even gentle fun of the King. Thai people take their King very seriously. They see the King as a combination of royalty, celebrity, and even divinity.

We have been to several in the USF area but none looks as grand as The King and I. But the name does bring back the memory of its name sake, the movie starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. And it is when looking up Wikipedia to refresh my memory that I came across the following: "in Thailand, the possession of anything related to Anna and the King of Siam or The King and I is illegal, because of the historical inaccuracies about the King of Siam."
