Best Article On WTF Is Going On In Thai Succession

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Now that the crown prince's wives #2 & # 3 have been disappeared, a former Thai Airways flight attendant's son could be the next heir to the thrown. LINK: http://www.asiasentinel.com/politics/th ... sappeared/

How many kids does that spoiled little prince have? He looks and sounds like an awful twat. No wonder the Thais hate him.

that site is blocked for me
but i have Hola LOL
Article is ok but misses out some info

1. like how his plane was taken from him in Germany for non payment of fuel and landing fees
2. His playboy days in the 80's in Pattaya and what went on
3. Thaksin has lent him millions of $$

He is one piece of work for sure.

This leaves out the present wife Nui, but is what you're asking for: "Vajiralongkorn, 57, a military pilot by training, has long stood out in the otherwise restrained royal family. His relationships with women have been numerous, complex, and particularly offensive to the public. While married to his first wife, a cousin with whom he had a daughter in 1978, he had five other children with a live-in girlfriend, a would-be actress. After divorcing his wife, he married his mistress in 1984. That marriage ended 12 years later, after the actress fled to Britain with the couple’s daughter. Undaunted, the prince abducted the child and brought her back to Thailand. In 2001, he married again, although it took years before the marriage was made public. His present wife, known as Princess Srirasmi, is another scandalous liaison. A commoner, she worked on his staff, “waiting on him,” before they married. The couple has a 5-year-old son, now second in line to the throne, but there are rumors of other children by other women, although the royal palace has not acknowledged them."

Some of us who spend a lot of time in Thailand care. That is the point of this particular forum section. If you don't care then fine, fuck off.

Why somebody would read, much less comment about something they could give a flying fuck about is beyond me. It's like going into the 'Cat Fancier' site and saying that you hate cats. Blockhead, your appellation is quite apt !

Interesting thing last week;

Usually the king presents the flag to each Battalion each year. BUT since the king was out for a gall bladder operation
the Prince took it over
BUT rather than having a military man pass the flag to the Prince to pass to the commanders the Princes NEW wife did. WTF

something unheard of

We surely live in interesting times.

good article

BTW thai news is reporting lots of stuff now about the Prince.
