- Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun will be officially crowned as the 10th king of the Chakri dynasty on May 4, after taking the throne following the death of his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, in late 2016.
In one of his most visible initiatives he has signed up some 5 million Thais to a new volunteer corps, whose members salute a portrait of the king before going out to work on community service projects such as cleaning public spaces. After completing primary education in Thailand, he was educated at private schools in Britain and Australia, before attending Australia’s Royal Military College Duntroon, in Canberra, and earning a bachelor’s degree in military studies from the University of New South Wales in Australia.
Officials from the Crown Property Bureau and the Bureau of the Royal Household did not respond to requests for comment. In the same year, the 400,000-strong military also adopted a new salute and haircut, both modeled after those used by the king’s own bodyguards. In December 2018, a royal guard was dismissed and stripped of his decorations for “breaching military discipline by being lazy and being careless in abandoning royal duties”, according to a published royal command. Reuters could not determine if the guard faced any additional punishment and he could not be reached for comment.
Vajiralongkorn issued a public command calling her candidacy for a populist opposition party “inappropriate” and unconstitutional. The princess was quickly disqualified by the Election Commission and the party that nominated her was later banned from the election. The results of the election, touted by the ruling junta as a return to democracy five years after the military seized power, are still unclear, though rules written by a military make it likely that a pro-army party will form the next government.The palace did not respond to requests for comment about the election.Three days before his coronation, Vajiralongkorn broke the news to Thais that he had married the deputy commander of his bodyguard unit, Suthida Tidjai, 40.
