The Thai culture and Buddhism in particular would not see these depictions as flattering but more "making him small"
I remember a big billboard on the freeway between bangkok and pattaya that had a picture of hitler doing a seig Heil with thai writing on it thats said "He Lives" a few miles down the road there was one that said the same thing with Michael jackson....It was advertising for a wax museum. Thai people get that westerners dont. Accept the fact that they have a very different culture than our judeo-christian ideology and the concept of politically correct is completely foreign to them.
I love Thailand and its libertarian ideology (moreso than ours anyway)
