Thai King Vajiralongkorn not returning to Germany for the time being | Entertainment

entertainment">King Vajiralongkorn has postponed his trip to Germany several times since he returned to Bangkok for a number of commitments in October. He now wanted to leave on December 29, but that will not happen.

entertainment">A precise reason has not been given, but the growing protests in Thailand for monarchy reform certainly played a role. In addition, resistance to the ‘holiday residence’ of Vajiralongkorn also grew in Berlin. The king has resided almost permanently in Germany in recent years.

Remote control

entertainment">After taking office in 2016, Vajiralongkorn had the constitution specially amended to avoid having to appoint a regent during his stay abroad. He could also rule from his Bavarian villa or the luxury hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen that was popular this year. But it was precisely this remote control that was not appreciated or wanted by the German government.

entertainment">It is not known when the king will leave now. Earlier this year, he consistently made short return journeys of less than 24 hours to Bangkok. Vajiralongkorn has now been in Thailand for two and a half months and has visited all regions for the first time since his accession to the throne in an attempt to gain popular support.

entertainment">The youngest son of the king, prince Dipangkorn, is currently still in Germany, where he has been attending school for years.
