Special Branch Police File Complaint Against 'Godd Dam' Page Over Alleged Lèse-Majesté
Thai authorities have initiated legal action against the administrator of the 'Godd Dam' Facebook page for allegedly posting false and satirical content concerning the monarchy.
On October 26, 2026, Khaosod Online reported that Lieutenant Colonel Tan Chaisang of the Special Branch Police filed a formal complaint at Bang Khen Police Station against the owner of the 'Godd Dam' social media page. The authorities allege that the page, which has approximately 130,000 followers and was established in December 2022, has been used to disseminate false information and satirical content that undermines public faith in the monarchy.
According to the police report, the investigation was prompted by several posts, including a recent claim involving a fabricated bank transfer slip of 7 million baht allegedly sent to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul as a bribe. The Special Branch has been monitoring the page’s activities, citing concerns regarding the input of data into computer systems that may threaten national security. The police have officially accepted the case and are currently reviewing the evidence to proceed with further legal actions.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the strict enforcement of Thailand’s lèse-majesté laws (Section 112 of the Criminal Code) and the Computer Crime Act. While the investigation is ongoing, it serves as a reminder of the legal risks associated with sharing or interacting with content deemed critical of the monarchy. It remains to be confirmed how the judicial process will unfold and whether the page administrator will be formally charged.
