Thai king raided by TV team: ‘No comment’ | Entertainment

entertainment">“No comment, no comment,” was the initial horrified response Vajiralongkorn when asked what he had to say to the students who have been taking to the streets for months asking for reform. “We love everyone equally,” was the short answer.

entertainment">When asked whether there is room for compromise, the king replied: “Thailand is the land of compromise.” He then turned away from the news team, while his wife was queen Suthida, who had supported him all along, began to wave exuberantly. “We love you all, we love you all.”

entertainment">The royal couple, plus royal concubine Sineenat and the two daughters of the king, from the Grand Palace in Bangkok, “took a bath in the crowd,” walking among the thousands of monarchists led earlier in the day. Vajiralongkorn occasionally chatted, including with an actor who had previously called for violence against the anti-government protesters.

entertainment">King Vajiralongkorn came to the palace to change the clothes at Wat Phra Kaew temple for the there revered emerald Buddha image. This is a task reserved for the king, who has to do it three times a year at the changing of the seasons. The statue has now been given its winter dress.

entertainment">The king would leave Thailand on Sunday night after a stay of more than three weeks, the longest period he has been in his own country in the past year. But last week it was decided to postpone the trip to Germany.
