May Day is a good day for marriage, and it is no exception for foreigners. On this day, the new Thai king got married again.
According to reports from the World Wide Web, the Thai Royal Family Office announced that the 66-year-old Thai King Vajiralongkorn had married a former flight attendant and now the royal guard "bodyguard" Suti, and officially canonized her as a queen. Although the exact date of marriage has not been announced, the video shows that members of the royal family attended the wedding, and the newlyweds also signed the marriage registration. In addition, the coronation ceremony of Vajlaron will be held from May 4th to 6th, when 200,000 people will participate in this grand event. There are two main reasons why the wedding of Thai King Vajiralong has been paid attention to by the outside world.
first, Vajiralong is the tenth king of Thailand. He inherited the mantle of his father Rama IX Bhumibol Adulyadej, and he also inherited a fortune of 30 billion U.S. dollars. He has such a rich and enemy status that the outside world cannot pay attention to it. In other words, Vajiralong is a fundamentally popular "second generation of kings". Without the blessing of his father Bhumibol Adulyadej's "Yuwei", he would hardly be able to secure this throne.
Bhumibol Adulyadej has been King of Thailand for 70 years. He has experienced all major political events in Thailand from riots to peace. When dealing with these matters, he did not change his face. He was able to help Thailand at critical moments every time. The people have survived crisis after crisis. The best thing he did was to free more than 100,000 people from the persecution of drugs in northern Thailand, so his reputation was so good that after his death, his son would rely on his influence to secure the throne. .
second, this is the fourth time that Vajiralong has been married, and the identity of the newlywed wife is still the commander of the Royal Guard Sutida. Vajiralong just divorced his third wife in 2014, and he currently has 7 children. This high divorce rate is relatively rare, at least not in his father.
Now he married the "Royal Guard Bodyguard" Suthida at the age of 66, who was 26 years younger than himself, continuing the Thai "tradition of alliance between the king and the army" and expanding his influence. According to Thai tradition, the king, the government, and the army can work together to govern the country. Therefore, Vajiralongkorn's marriage is political, which is also a means to increase his prestige.
It is worth noting that the sister of Vajiralongkorn, Princess Ubon Ratchathani, previously announced that she would run for the prime minister of Thailand. This is the first time a senior member of the Thai royal family has participated in the general election and may change the distribution of political power in Thailand. As a result, her eligibility to run was inexplicably cancelled. There is a factor in the Thai King Vajiralong. In order to please Prayut, he secretly cancelled his sister’s qualification to run for the election. As a result, Thaksin’s political party that supported Princess Ubon Ratchathani was dissolved on the spot and changed the general election in Thailand. A balanced situation.
At present, both parties in the general election in Thailand are increasingly favoring Prayut, and Thai King Vajiralong not only betrayed his sister, but also publicly pressured Thaksin to deprive him of the highest medal of honor given to Thaksin during the reign of King Rama IX. , May see Thaksin unable to win, Thai King Vajiralong immediately went down to show his favor to Bayut.
But Prayut has long won the support of the army and most of the parliamentarians, and he seems to be able to win without the help of any external force. Therefore, Thai King Vajiralong deliberately to please Prayut seems to be counterproductive, after all, he is not Rama IX, does not have such great authority, and Prayut will not follow his arrangements.
