Jufer, who lived in Thailand for 10 years, pleaded guilty in March to five counts of lese majeste, or insulting the monarchy. He had faced a maximum of 75 years in prison. According to court testimony, Jufer had been out drinking with a friend and drove his motorcycle home to pick up a can of spray-paint, which he had bought to paint his dog house. He drove up to a municipal office where a large poster of the king was hung outside, and climbed a ladder to spray paint over the image. He then defaced four other posters near his home, according to the testimony.
“The king in his kindness has granted him a pardon and he has been transferred from prison and is in the process of being deported from the country,” Chiang Mai police Col. Prachuab Wongsuk told The Associated Press.
You deserve the jail. Old man! You’ve lived in our country for 10 years but not known our highest respectful laws. His majesty the king doesn’t pardon you because youtube’s related issue but it is his kindness which he always does for every lesse-majeste laws.
You should also thank for our lesse-majeste laws that keep you safely in jail. I can’t imagine what is our reaction to you if we see you on street. It gotta be brutal hurt reaction.
Don’t even think about coming back!!! You’re not welcome.

[...] by just posting an argument about YouTube banned in Thailand. I’m one of Thai bloggers who is hurt about those videos on YouTube but does not agree with the government’s action to YouTube [...]
Boy … the guy must be stupid! after living in Thailand for 10 years! actually I think he deserves to be deported. Why is it that so many Europeans think it is OK to put down developing countries? Cultural shock - FEAR!
