The New King Of Thailand That Wears Crop Tops And Has Fake Tattoos Is About To Become An Internet Sensation

NY Post- People of Thailand, meet your new king. With the Southeast Asian nation facing an uncertain future with the death of its revered monarch on Thursday, a new photo has emerged of the throne’s heir apparent looking more court jester than king.

Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, 64, showed up at an airport in Munich recently, strutting around in a rolled-up tank top, sagging jeans and fake tattoos with a poodle in tow. In contrast to his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, whose death ends a 70-year reign, the playboy prince has a reputation among his soon-to-be subjects for bizarre behavior, womanizing and cruelty to his many wives.

Taking a page from Caligula, Vajiralongkorn named his favorite pet, a poodle named Foo Foo, as an air marshal. He even took the pooch to a 2007 reception hosted in his honor by US Ambassador Ralph “Skip” Boyce. “Foo Foo was . . . dressed in formal evening attire complete with paw mitts, and at one point during the band’s second number, he jumped up onto the head table and began lapping from the guests’ water glasses,” Boyce wrote, according to a WikiLeaks document.

But tales of the prince’s behavior exist mostly in the realm of rumor in Thailand. The nation has strict laws banning stories about the royal family. But in 2007, the depravity of Vajiralongkorn’s court was exposed when a video surfaced of his third wife, Princess Srirasmi, a former bar waitress, walking around topless at her own birthday party while eating cake with Foo Foo. When the dog died last year, it was given a four-day funeral. The new images of him are sensitive, with officials detaining the Thai wife of a British journalist who put them online.

Srirasmi has split from the prince after being booted from the Royal Palace in December. In a show of his cruelty, he recently allowed her parents to be thrown in prison for 2¹/? years for “royal defamation.” His earlier two marriages were equally rocky. During his first — to his cousin — he allegedly fathered five kids with a mistress, then married the mistress. Later he dumped her, forcing her to flee the country.

Maha Vajiralongkorn is on the fast track to internet superstardom. There is no doubt about it in my mind. He’s one of those guys that you take one look at and just know he is going to be the center of countless blogs. Sure Thailand may not actually have the internet yet. But they have some A+ fake tattoos, so dial up can’t be far behind. And having someone with this much electricity pumping through his veins is exactly what that country needs needs. I feel like 90% of the world gets Thailand and Taiwan confused all the time. The only thing I know about Thailand is that M. Bison is from there and he is pure fucking evil.

So having some wild, eccentric son of a bitch that loved his dog Foo Foo more than life itself is a definite upgrade in the P.R. department for people like me that know nothing about Thailand. Sure the whole “marrying his cousin” and being a giant piece of shit to his wives means that there is a chance that he is a terrible ruler/person. But someone that gave his dog a four-day funeral has to have a heart beating somewhere within his chest, right?

P.S. If you used M. Bison in Street Fighter II, you are a Grade A asshole.
