[Finanziamento]

Yes, the King's picture, and those of monks and Buddha images, must always be at the top of the page. These rules are mainly for newspapers, but webmasters also have to be careful. Of course, with blogs, we cannot easily post a picture of the King as it will soon move down the page.

There was recently a good example of this in the Thai Rath newspaper. They had a picture of a group of Thai students who had just won an international award for a robot competition. Two of the people in the picture were holding portraits of H.M. The King. It was a good story, but the newspaper didn't want to run the picture above the fold. Secondly, one of the students holding the picture was sitting on the floor. Hence, the image of the H.M. The King was near his feet. Other students were standing behind him with their heads being higher. They wanted to run the story so what they did was to photoshop out the picture of H.M. The King. They were hoping no-one would notice. But of course, everyone did and Thai Rath was accused of being disloyal to the monarchy.

I have been at events where members of the Royal Family were due to attend. Everyone around the podium were told that they couldn't take pictures.
