In 1938, King Rama VIII returned to Thailand and stayed in the Kingdom for a short period and
went back to Switzerland to continue his studies. After completion of high school, he enrolled at
Lausanne Umversity, and studied Law. During his short stay in the country he performed his royal affairs
and private activities regularly such as studying Thai language and Buddhism, granting an audience to
various minstry officials to report on the progress of their duties. He enjoyed visiting his people both in
Bangkok and nearby provinces to see how they lived. During free time, he liked to play music with his
younger brother (Prince Bhumibol Adulyadej). or writing.
