Is the party over for Thailand's playboy king? He made his poodle an air force chief, spent Covid in a hotel with 20 'sex soldiers' and threw a 'disloyal' mistress in jail
daily mail ^

When it comes to wealth, extravagance and notoriety, few compare to Thailand's playboy king, Maha Vajiralongkorn.

Known formally as Rama X, the 73-year-old monarch is the wealthiest ruler in the world, with an estimated net worth of £52billion.

He has lived an extraordinarily wild, and at times outright bizarre, life that would put even history's most debauched monarchs to shame.

But in recent months, the flamboyant royal has all but retreated from public life.

Rarely seen since the October death of his mother Sirikit, the once-spirited monarch appears to still be in mourning.

In November, just a few weeks after his mother passed away, a glum-looking Vajiralongkorn became the first ever Thai monarch to visit China as part of a state visit.

And on February 1, the king was seen performing religious rites to commemorate the 100th day since his mother's passing. Photos of the event showed uniformed soldiers obediently bowing down to the dour-looking king and queen in a gaudy room that held a large portrait of the late Sirikit.

Compounding his misery is the poor health of his eldest daughter, who has been in a coma for more than three years.

Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol is receiving 'continuous' treatment to stabilize her blood pressure because of a severe infection. She has been unconscious in hospital since falling ill due to heart problems in December 2022 during a dog training session.

Other than formal events, the monarch appears to have had little contact with the outside world.

Before his retreat from the public eye, Vajiralongkorn was involved in a string of scandals, including making his poodle the chief of his air force, spending the Covid-19 lockdown with a harem of 'sex soldiers' in a German hotel, and throwing his mistress into prison for upsetting him and his wife.

And at age ~70? Impressive. But a man’s gotta know his limitations.

This POS said he would murder his sister if he wasn’t named the previous king’s successor.

Like Mel Brooks said: “It’s good to be king.”
