But so far, he hasn't won the hearts of his people. As "Rama X," he is now the world's richest royal and prefers spending his time in Upper Bavaria rather than at home. Meanwhile, his subjects in Thailand are taking to the streets, protesting for more democracy and criticizing the monarchy – despite facing severe penalties. When Maha was to assume the throne and crown in 2016 after the death of his revered father and former King Bhumibol Adulyadej, it took almost three years until his official coronation. Many wondered what would happen next and how the successor would lead the Land of Smiles. Despite the long wait, he was already laying the groundwork for his reign. With constitutional amendments that grant him and the military more power. And the frequently used lèse-majesté law.
