The UK high court has finally ruled on the extradition of Lauri Love, the Finnish-British student accused of cracking U.S. government websites. He will not be extradited to face trial in America. The court accepted both of the main arguments that there is no reason he cannot not be tried in England and that he might suffer serious damage to his health if he were extradited.

You just memorize the laws for the server you're breaking into. Or, better yet, you don't break into servers.
If you want to post something defaming the Thai king on servers outside of Thailand, that's your own business and likely legal. But, if you post those defamatory comments to a server in Thailand, then I fail to see why they shouldn't get a shot at prosecuting you.
It's not like the domain name has some sort of address which can be used to know what country it's located in is freely available to the public.

It's also not like the server necessarily has a domain name that reflects the country it's located in.
A lot of U.S. servers have a .fm domain, for example. Many servers around the world have .com addresses.
