Kennst du schon...?Widerstand in Thailand - mit Gummienten und Harry Potter gegen die MonarchieWas haben Harry Potter, die Tribute von Panem und überdimensionale Gummienten mit Widerstand zu tun? Wie machte sich der thailändische König zum reichsten Monarchen der Welt? Und welche Rolle spielt das britische Königshaus in diesem Konflikt?
