Thailand’s crown prince at the fairground
The prince spends a few nice hours in Freising
Quite inconspicuously, the man strolled the Freising funfair on Saturday afternoon in jeans and a T-shirt. Surrounded by a few bodyguards, he walked around the fairground. What nobody guessed was that the man’s name is Maha Vajiralongkorn and that he is crown prince of Thailand. His royal title in Thailand is Phra Ratchaphithi Somphot Duan Lae Khuen Phra U [sic]. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn underwent military training and studies and holds currently the ranks of General of the Royal Thai Army, Admiral of the Royal Thai Navy and Air Chief Marshal of the Royal Thai Air Force.
Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongjorn was born in Dusit Palace, Bangkok on June 28, 1952 and is the second child of King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit. In 1972 he was appointed crown prince and heir to the throne.
