interesting times in Thailand
This week saw the return of 2 of the kings 4 estranged sons to Thailand, They were last here 27 years ago when the king disowned them (1996) when they had fled with their mom to the Uk ( where they tried to live, but the King reportedly accused them of being drug dealers and they were thrown out) and they moved to the states.
They have since been living in America where they have become successful people on their own
One is a lawyer and one a Dr. both living in New York
One has to wonder why the change of heart and why now? it has NOT been reported if they even met with their dad but someone high up had to have smoothed the way for their visit. Also NO mention of their mom ( ex Thai actress) the kings 2nd wife
Could those in power see the changes in Thailand ( what with the win by the move forward party)
and paving the way for.......
Interesting times for sure

Maybe lining one up for the throne. Vajiralongkorn's youngest son has some sort of mental disorder.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: interesting times in Thailand
The elder daughter has been on life support since December 2022.
The only royally titled son is considered to be autistic.
That seems to leave one other daughter.
Of course, the ideal situation would be to have a new king, so the males closest to throne are needed. The situation is quite similar to when King Rama VII abdicated in 1935 and two young brothers, the future King Rama VIII and King Rama IX, who were living in Switzerland, were contacted.

I may be going to hell in a bucket,
but at least I'm enjoying the ride.
