Thailand’s Game of Thrones: Exiled Prince Returns after 27 Years | Vantage with Palki Sharma

He left Thailand in the mid-1990s. He is making a surprise visit to the country after 27 years. His visit comes after the heir apparent to the Thai crown went into a coma last December. Does the Prince's visit mean he's eyeing the throne? Palki Sharma tells you.

I like how you said " No it's not Harry".

[redglue]

The Monarchy and spontaneity are like oil and water, they don't mix. Everything about them is well coordinated, orchastrated, and staged. So, this "surprise" visit is not without the necessary permissions, nor the necessary ocassion. The monarchy will not dare nor risk the humiliation of bringing someone they essentially discarded back if the situation isn't dire. This only means one thing, the Crown Princess' prognosis isn't good and they need the safety net for it. I am pretty sure the King isn't happy about this entire fiasco either, so kodus to the Privy Council in managing to persuade the King to invite his estranged sons back home.

[aihatsuchannel]

These doing of royal family are just a propaganda, don't be a fool for this.

[robertnew]

Not cardiac arrhythmia but a cranial aneurism!

[michaelleongQuartermaster]

He behave like hes mightier than God,

[VintageThaiLadyBoy]

Even though the palace didn't mention this visit, there's no way the prince could come without the king's permission. Also the local news reports say outright that the prince was grateful for his majesty's permission.

[peterphan]

Hopefully he follows his Grandpa foot steps instead of his dad which we all know. It does look like it will be a good turnout for him.

[greendragon]

Let's hope he is a decent human being.

I knew the princess had a lot of medical issues during December, but I never heard any more after that. I’m sad to hear that she’s been in a coma all this time. Hopefully there will be a reconciliation between him and his father, and that would be strange, just being a normal person and then all of a sudden becoming a king. Wow.

[randomish]

i like how the Royal family still name them in sanskrit . good to see they did not forget their roots . love from india

[misuden]

No way, this prince cannot visit Thailand without the Kings permission. Thai game of thrones just started.

[xanderp]

So surprised by this move but i guess desperate times calls for desperate measures... Without a royal heir it is ominous. His mother was dramatically removed from the line up as her children were too. I'm glad the monarchy is considering this young ousted child kf the current king as an heir. The Chakri monarchy has been a long ancient monarchy.
Good luck, Thailand on saving your Dynasty.

The 2nd eldest, came to visit his home country ŵithout any pomp or royal celebrity welcome. This guy must have known that to enjoy Thailand to the fullest, must be without distraction and in peace. My respect to this guy with a huge grin.

[catherinechiong]

2nd Oldest Son lives in US for 15 to 20 years. He is modernize in thinking. But he looks kind and charismatic!

[terenceinasia]

The princess suffered heart issue's, myocarditis, immediately after she received vaccine...

[striker]

Love tom yum soup, thai fried rice and thai iced tea. 😋

[jellyart]

When I was too young to know what happened, my mom and neighbor went to thepalace to see the letter or announcement or whatever it called about his wife. People loved to hear gossip stories 😅

[asherbigelow]

Lol I didn't know he was a Prince of Thailand. I was standing behind him when he checked out in one of the famous Thai restaurant in California. I should have asked him to pay for my meal lol.

[zainormamzainalabidin]

This is the real Prince. He look very royal, personality, educated, charisma and so on. He should be as the future King of Thailand.

[somchitsuk]

The headline is not nice, it is not the game. You misunderstand.
