In 2010 Somsak Jeamteerasakul posted eight proposals to change Thailand 's monarchy . One of the suggestions called for removing an article from Thailand 's constitution that speaks of the king as “ enthroned in a position of revered worship ” . Another proposal calls for abolishing “ one-sided public relations and educational activities related to the monarchy . ” Somsak advocates the abolition of Privy Council of Thailand and abolition of Crown Property Bureau , which has been estimated to hold US$ 37 billion or more in assets and according to Thai law can be spent " at the king 's pleasure . " Somsak also advocates the abolition of article 112 of Thailand 's criminal code , the lèse-majesté law , which he described as : " against the principles of democracy and even against common sense . You can not regard the monarchy as always right all the time . ” Somsak ’s 8-point proposal to reform Thailand 's monarchy : Somsak Jeamteerasakul has been critical of Bhumibol Adulyadej for his role in Thammasat University massacre . Somsak argues Bhumibol 's involvement in drumming up anti-communist hysteria and his support of far-right royalist paramilitaries makes him partly responsible of the brutal beatings , rape and murder of the students on the day of the massacre
