King Maha of Thailand was extravagant, spending tens of billions to please the harem, and also named the dog as a marshal.
The royal family of the Kingdom of Thailand, the symbol of the world's richest people, surpasses the royal families of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Brunei and other royal families. However, the Thai royal family is comparable to a court drama, and the plot is more gripping than "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
There is a princess who was sent to the cold palace for cheating on her subordinates with the king, and her four sons were implicated, deprived of their nationality and deported; There are also princesses who are demoted to nuns; The princess was naked, wearing only a thong to feed the dog cakes; The king's appointee was a physically defective prince.
These strange events are countless, and the Thai royal family has frequent scandals**. The current king is even more unique, with endless romances, violating the royal family's "monogamy" and insisting on "polygamy", with a harem of more than 200 people.
As a king, he was uninhibited, often wearing short vests and shorts to show his abdominal muscles, and behaving out of line. He even made his dog a marshal, just to win the favor of the harem.
In order to please the harem, he spent tens of billions, and I am afraid that he would not even dare to write a TV series like this.
You might not imagine that the richest royal family in the world is actually the Thai royal family. In 2012, Forbes released a list of the world's richest royal families, and the results surprised everyone, with the Thai royal family leading the way with total assets of $43 billion.
So, why is the Thai royal family so rich? All this is inseparable from the operation of King Bhumibol of Thailand. Bhumibol received a Western-style education from an early age and was a polymath and multilingual.
Although he was born in an imperial family, he was not bound by power, but had his own ideas and goals. In 1951, Bhumibol was outraged by a coup d'état in Thailand and strengthened his determination to regain power.
His efforts eventually succeeded, and the wealth of the Thai royal family grew. Therefore, the wealth of the Thai royal family is not accidental, but is forged by Bhumibol's wisdom and perseverance.
Bhumibol fought for power and interests for the royal family, but was categorically rejected by the military. In order to protect the vitality of the royal family, he temporarily compromised and let the military ** deprive the royal family of a large amount of land and political rights.
He realized that only by restoring power could he protect his family from the control of others. So, he embarked on the path to regain power. Bhumibol was a political strategy and actively engaged with the people in the face of difficulties, knowing that only with popular support could he regain power.
His pro-people image left a deep impression on the Thai people, and dissatisfaction with the rule of Luang Phibun Somkhon ** gradually spread among the people. In early 1956, he spoke out against Luang Phibun Songkham, accusing the military of not interfering in politics.
As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar in Thailand. Some praised him for his courage, while others thought he was inadequate. The following year, Luang Phibun Sogkham's rigged party won the parliamentary elections, leaving the populace and the royal family furious.
Soon, the people took to the streets to oppose Luang Phibun Songkham**. On the night of September 16, he finally took action and staged a coup d'état with Sarit Thanarat, a staunch supporter of the monarchy, to overthrow Luang Phibun Somkham**.
From then on, he began to control the great power and part of the military power. He understood that the enhancement of the status and authority of the royal family was the next step, and to that end, he actively supported democracy, attaching importance to national unity, education, health and economic development.
He took an active part in state affairs, revitalized the economy, and set many precedents. With the financial backing of the royal family, his charisma attracted a lot of domestic and foreign investment, and he successfully transformed Thailand from a poor agricultural country into a modern country, known as the "King of Rejuvenation" and revered by the Thai people as the "Father of the Nation".
Externally, Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit frequently visited Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and other places, and maintained correspondence with leaders of many countries. With his outstanding diplomatic skills, Bhumibol has successfully maintained friendly relations between the Thai royal family and many countries and royal families, and promoted the development of Thailand in all aspects.
During his 70-year reign, he not only succeeded in recovering power, but also improved the status of the king in Thailand, greatly improved the political and authoritative status of the royal family, maximized the royal power under the constitutional monarchy, and made the king a real decision-maker.
Bhumibol took control of the power, and the king's wealth grew. In 1988, he created the Royal Thai Asset Management Authority, which manages the property in the royal family's name.
At the same time, Thailand has abundant natural gas, oil, tin and other resources, as well as a thriving tourism industry, which has brought great benefits to Thailand and made the king's wealth continue to increase.
The Asset Management Board used royal property for investments, such as land, real estate, jewelry, oil, etc., which were often easily accessible and tax-free due to the king's influence.
As a result, the wealth of the royal family continued to accumulate and the size of the wealth grew in size. Allegedly, the Thai royal family owns 130,000 acres of land and real estate, rental income alone amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
In addition to real estate, the royal family also earns a lot of money in areas such as jewelry and duty-free shops, and there are also many businessmen who send shares to the royal family in order to ensure their own safety, further expanding the wealth of the royal family.
King Bhumibol loved cars and collected more than 600 luxury cars in his lifetime, most of which were privately customized, **amazing. He held a lavish celebration for himself on the 60th anniversary of his accession to the throne, and many of the objects at the banquet were plated with a layer of gold and diamonds, showing the extent of his luxury.
In addition, he owns a car weighing 545A 6-carat diamond worth up to $5 billion. Members of the royal family often show "jewelry" and "bling" in public.
Queen Sirikit has a priceless collection of jewelry, including an emerald ** belt and a diamond tassel tiara.
Bhumibol created a life of opulence for his family and royalty, allowing them to live a life of luxury, but it also led some royals to develop a habit of extravagance.
He died in a hospital in Bangkok on October 13, 2016. A month later, Bhumibol's son Maha succeeded him as the tenth king of the Chokri dynasty.
Although Bhumibol was a hard-working politician and loved the people, and was loved and respected by the people, he enjoyed a high reputation at home and abroad, but his son Maha was ridiculous, and he was a veritable loser who was at odds with his father.
Maha was born in July 1952, when Bhumibol was not yet in power, and life in the royal family was difficult. In Thai, Vajiralongkorn means "the one who possesses the power of thunder", and it can be seen that Bhumibol and Sirikit had high hopes for this son.
After Bhumibol came to power, the life of the royal family changed drastically, and they lived a life of abundance, freedom and stability. Thanks to the favorable family conditions, Maha has studied in prestigious schools in the United Kingdom and Australia.
In 1972, he entered the Royal Military College in Canberra for military training. In this year, Maha was also canonized as the crown prince by Bhumibol. At the military academy, Maha learned a variety of skills, was able to parachute, could fly jet fighters, and laid a good foundation for his later career in the Air Force.
He earned a degree in literature, a bachelor's degree in law, etc., and was quite a talented man. By the time he graduated from military school, he already had the rank of lieutenant. In 1977, Maha returned to Thailand and served as an officer in the Air Force.
Since he is a qualified pilot with a certificate, he has personally piloted fighter jets to the front line to engage the Thai *** army. During this period, he taught the soldiers tactics, ate and lived with them, and was very popular with the soldiers.
Thailand's future king, Maha, has never had a shortage of women around him. He had a marriage to Queen Sirikit's niece, Songsavali Jithiyakorn, but the marriage ended because of his absurd habits.
Maha's cheating behavior not only made his wife unbearable, but also damaged the royal family's face. However, Maha did not change his lifestyle because of this. He lived for many years with the actress Yuva Dieta, who bore him 4 sons and a daughter.
Although Yuva Tida got her wish to marry Maha, Maha still behaved outside the world, which made Yuva Tida very angry. She retaliated against her husband by cheating on Air Marshal Ananda, which led to their eventual divorce and the expulsion of Yuvatida and her children from the royal family, stripping them of their citizenship.
These incidents shocked people about Maha's romantic habits, and also affected the image of the Thai royal family. However, details about these events, as well as Maha's other private lives, have yet to be revealed.
Get more exclusive information.
King Maha's marriage and harem career: from Yuvadida to Sinina and Suthida, to countless beauties and dogs of the "Air Marshal".
During his reign, King Bhumibol, despite the enormous wealth of the royal family, insisted that the wealth of the Royal Asset Management Authority did not belong to the royal family, but to the entire Thai people.
His low-key behavior has also been praised by the public. However, after King Maha ascended to the throne, he transferred assets worth 400 billion baht to his own name and made it his private property.
In addition, he was also extravagant and did many unbelievable things, such as when the epidemic broke out in Thailand, he actually took 20 concubines to Germany for a tour, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people; He also asked the people and dignitaries to bow to the members of the royal family, and forbade anyone to talk about anything about the royal family in private, otherwise they would be severely punished.
These actions completely angered the population, who staged massive demonstrations demanding the limitation of the king's power and the return of part of the royal assets to the people. King Maha's absurd deeds have made him face an unprecedented predicament.
Despite this, he remains firmly in the throne, which raises questions about whether the curse of the death of the Kree dynasty X will come true. In addition, he also appointed a congenitally deficient son as the crown prince, which caused a lot of speculation.
The answers to these puzzles will be revealed in the following content. Please everyone *** in order to ** more content. Thank you all for your support, and we'll see you next time!
