His son, the Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, has been married three times and in the past two years scandalous film footage has been distributed on the Internet and on clandestine CDs, featuring him and his current wife, Princess Srirasmi.
– Extracted from Richard Lloyd Parry, “King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand ill in hospital”, The Times, 22 September 2009.
Previous New Mandala coverage of the way that other taboos have been broken is available from 1 December 2008, 22 December 2008 and 29 December 2008.
A quick search on Youtube doesn’t come up empty. Just curious whether the site is still blocked in Thailand? Or the (not-so) great firewall has crumbled.

OK bystander. I’m ready for the next clue. Will be interested in figuring out what you are talking about.

So what if His Royal Highness has been married three times ??
There’s nothing wrong with that !
Ronald Reagan was married twice – Zsa Zsa Gabor five times !!
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton married and divorced – each other ! – two times.
Marriage and re-marriage is a norm in the modern world – or have n’t you posters here noticed !!
And it is absolutely outrageous for ANYONE to have their private marriage activities, of any sort, publicly broadcast. I bet nobody posting here would like such treatment. Western papparazzi go too far – just ask Princess Dianna’s ghost !!
Give His Royal Highness a break : he’s doing his best – eg. flying airplanes for charity, something I can not do – and I bet most, if not everyone posting here, can not do. I greatly respect him for this.

Chris Beale, maybe you can’t fly a plane – but you certainly can fly a kite!
