Thai language is fluid. One says, “water waiting to be drained” not “a flood”, and not “corruption” but that “the margin is just too high”. The video “Translation from THAI to THAI” reviews the definition of “freedom of speech” and its boundaries in Thai society.
This video is produced by Ratchapong Ochaphong as part of Prachatai’s project “Difference, Diversity and Common”, supported by the Canadian Embassy to Thailand. The project’s goal is to promote better understanding of human rights and social diversity.
