King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (68) of Thailand is a controversial figure. He is better known for scandals, mistresses, and military operations than anything else, in contrast to the way his father, King Bhumibol, ruled until his death in 2016.
In May last year, he married his former general Suthida Vajiralongkorn Na Ayudhya (42), thus making her queen. Only a month after the marriage, it was learned that the king had appointed another woman, Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi (35) as his wife, as a kind of minor wife, the first in Thailand since 1921. Therefore, she was the favorite mistress of the king.
He did not keep the titles for long. Already in October, the royal family announced that it would be deprived of the titles, as well as of its position of major general. The court thought that she had tried to take the place of the queen, so she was driven out by the cold.
Full investment
Now the king has come full circle. The BBC writes on Wednesday that Wongvajirapakdi has been reinstated as a wife, just over a year after her title was taken from her. She has not been seen in public since.
The ad comes from the Royal Gazette, a public newspaper in Thailand.

– Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi is not dishonored. In the future, it will be as if he has never been stripped of his military achievements or royal titles, the statement said.
The decision is said to have been made on August 29, but was not made public until today. The background to the conflict that erupted in October is complicated and long-lasting.
Both Queen Suthida and his wife Sineenat have previously served in the security service at the Palace. Suthida also previously worked as a flight attendant for Thai Airways, while Sineenat was a nurse in the military.
In the very detailed description of the Palace last year, it was stated that Sineenat tried to prevent Suthida from being appointed queen and that she herself wanted the position. According to the statement, the king tried to solve the problem by naming Sineenat as his wife.

“She was not satisfied with the royal position assigned to her and continued to do her best to be equal to the queen,” the statement said.
It is not known why the king suddenly decided to reinstall it. The news comes as a result of several protests in Thailand, where several have grown tired of the government of the authorities. Among other things, they protest that the king has gained more power over the years and they want the monarchy to change.
Among other things, several react to the fact that the king has announced that he will take over everything the royal house owns, making him the richest man in all of Thailand. Until now, the assets of the royal house have been managed by a foundation, which has benefited the people.
The fact that the king has also appointed himself commander-in-chief of all the military bases in Bangkok brings out people’s minds. Therefore, you become not only the richest person in Thailand, but also the most protected.
Has turned the royal house upside down
Outrageous
This is far from the first time that King Vajiralongkorn has made a surprise choice. Among other things, the king has been married three times before.
He has been described as a “playboy”, and it was claimed that for several years there had been a silent concern about the succession in Thailand. This was because it was feared that he might never measure up to his father’s exercise of royalty.
Although insulting or criticizing the monarchy is forbidden in Thailand, it has not stopped the Crown Prince from being noticed abroad.
Crown Prince’s poodle and thong princess revealed
It has mainly been about brief marriages, lavish habits, wild parties, and a weak political interest when the media has rushed on Vajiralongkorn, a somewhat untraditional and no less controversial reputation for an heir to the throne, and perhaps especially in Thailand.
In addition to the above reasons, he appeared in a leaked video with his then-wife, who was only wearing panties.
Therefore, it is perhaps not entirely unfounded that there is concern about succession.
In the past, Vajiralongkorn also appointed his own poodle captain to the Thai Air Force.
