But the what happened before and including the dog in the pic, as mentioned, I also felt was part of all this "message is there." And to me, it feels like conflicting message. First on the level of dog, then on the same level. I prefer clear messages on writing instead of deciphering cryptic messages hidden in images. I guess Thais love Dan Brown Da Vinci Code etc. :) Yes, I am not very good in reading hidden messages, or doing cross word puzzles, I never seem to find the hidden words ... :) About the being on the same head level, wasn’t this an issue before with different people that they were “against the protocol” when they were sitting on the same level with king?

The protest is aimed at damaging Abhisit's image, so he shores up said image by getting his photo taken with HMK. Does it have to be more complicated than that?

“This seems to clearly indicate contempt for the prime minister.”

Moreover, throughout the meeting, Khun Tong Daeng remains closer to the king. Knowing the Thai sensibilities and care with which HM's image is maintained, presence of Khun Tong Daeng at the meeting, and even the camera angles, are deliberate.
