King Vajiralongkorn has changed the robes and hat of the Emerald Buddha, an old artefact stolen by the Chakri family from the Lao monarchy in 1779. 1/4
The ceremony to change the robes, which happens three times a year, is the reason Vajiralongkorn came back to Thailand from Europe, where he spends most of the year in a luxury hotel in Germany with a harem of around 20 women. 2/4
Vajiralongkorn is due to fly back to Switzerland tonight, on another special flight with bankrupt national airline Thai Airways. He will have been in Thailand less than 20 hours. 3/4
The man accompanying Vajiralongkorn and carrying his sword is Police Colonel Thumnithi Wanichthanom, who has been one of the king's servants for years and is on the board of directors of both Siam Cement Group and Siam Commercial Bank. 4/4
