THE ARMY has justified the construction of a building that has drawn flak from locals for blocking the view of the old King Naresuan the Great Shrine in Phitsanulok province.

POLICE YESTERDAY decided to proceed with the indictment of noted social critic Sulak Sivaraksa for allegedly violating the lese majeste law when he questioned whether King Naresuan’s famous elephant battle during the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 16th century actually occurred.
