The visit was short-lived, but caused a sensation: Thai King Rama X was in the hospital for two hours. Secretly. Scottish journalist Andrew MacGregor Marshall revealed on Twitter.
The mysterious stay in a Bangkok hospital began at midnight. It is still unclear what may have prompted the monarch to pay a quick visit. “The staff were instructed not to say anything,” said Marshall, an arch nemesis of the king due to his explosive investigation.
A few hours after the enigmatic visit to the hospital, the King of Thailand appeared with his wife, Queen Suthida (42), at the cremation ceremony of the father of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha (66). The monarch did not wear a mask.
Does the King have a Crown?
However, Marshall brings the whirlwind visit in connection with a possible corona infection. The fact that one of Rama X.’s bodyguards tested positive for the corona virus is subject to speculation: the bodyguard accompanied the king on October 10 on his return trip from Zurich to Thailand.
While Queen Suthida spends most of the year in Switzerland, the king prefers to stay in Bavaria, most recently for several months with a harem of more than 20 women.
Protests against Rama X.
While there is actually a strict quarantine regime in Thailand, the king or his immediate surroundings were not isolated after his return, according to Marshall. A crown infection would be quite inconvenient for the controversial monarch; After all, Thailand is practically corona-free, only 59 deaths can be officially traced to Covid-19.
Rama X is under enormous internal political pressure. Thais are rebelling against their head of state and have been taking to the streets for weeks in search of democratic reforms. And that, although they even have to fear jail, criticism of the monarchy is severely punished in Thailand. (relationship)
