Harry Nicolaides received the minimum sentence permitted under Thai law after pleading guilty in mid-January, 2009.
For insulting the king.
Three years.
Details are here. (The text of his offending prose is here.)
A month later, he received a royal pardon.
He returned to Australia having spent almost six months in a Thai jail cell.
For insulting the king.
I suspect there will be a book coming out of this.
Hopefully he won't be scheduling any book signings in Thailand.
