Exclusively from Switzerland: Here the Thai King gets on his bike
Now,
there’s an image to prove the story: The Thai King cycles with his wife
and a large entourage through the canton of Lucerne, Switzerland. On
Friday he was seen in Rothenburg, and now in Horw.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn, also known as Rama X (right) and his wife, Queen Suthida are getting on a bike.
On official occasions, he appears in noble uniforms. Privately he dresses rather – let’s say particular: The Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn, also known as Rama X. On Sunday evening he showed up at the Seehotel Kastanienbaum near Lucerne, Switzerland, dressed in a crop top revealing his belly. Pictures, that a reader of our newspaper shot, prove that.

At
the Hotel itself, nobody wanted to confirm the high attendance.
According to statements from several readers, King Rama X and his entire
entourage drove from the village to the Seehotel Kastanienbaum. There
he made a half-hour break at about 6:45 pm before returning the same
route.

Servants approach only kneeling
A
reader who filmed the event was having a great time. «A King in a
cropped dress, that looks rather weird» he says. The staff had saluted.
When they approached Rama X, it was only on their knees. They followed
the King, who apparently only went to the toilet in the Seehotel and
drank a glass of water, at every turn. Kneeling on the ground, one of
them held the King's racing bike. As he drove off, he was followed by
his entourage, equipped with helmet cameras.

Thus,
it’s now public, what happens on the royal excursions. It is unclear,
however, what exactly Rama X is doing in central Switzerland. A real
round trip by bike? Or just short breaks? The Thai Embassy does not want
to provide any information on request. The Lucerne police is not
informed about the high visit. It’s conceivable that Rama X drove on to
the Glasi in Hergiswil after the stopover in Horw. He already shopped
there last October, as the Glasi posted on Facebook.
It’s
also possible that the King stayed in Engelberg, as he regularly does.
That he flew back to Munich - he has a villa nearby - is on the other
hand is out of question. His jet flew from Zurich to Munich on Sunday
afternoon.
The
equipment makes it seem like the King is cycling regularly. However,
little is known about his hobbies, says Thomas Bürgisser, Royal expert
for the «Schweizer Illustrierte»: «The royal family is living in
seclusion. Therefore, there is much speculation, but only a few
confirmed information.» Seclusion: This fits in with the image that the
King leaves with his surprising appearance in the canton of Lucerne.
Bürgisser says: «In Thailand the King is well known. Maybe that's why
he's on a bike tour in Switzerland, because he can move much more freely
here.»
