IS THE HEIR OF THAILAND CROWN PRINCE MAHA VAJIRALONGKORN READY TO REIGN ?

Born on July 28th, 1952, the prince of Thailand named Maha Vajiralongjorn was educated at a primary school in Bangkok, and then at Millfield School, Somerset, and The King's School, Sydney.

He received high rank education and is now an expert in many topics.

He was made heir at the age of 20 and served as an officer in the Thai military, holding the ranks of general, admiral and air chief marshal, though his role in recent years has become increasingly ceremonial.

Yes it seems that the Thai prince is preparing to reign, as his father, the beloved Thai King Rama 9, will be 80 years old this month, in 2007.

The Thai prince Maha Vajiralongjorn, whose equivalent in Britain is Prince Charles, is the only son of King Rama IX and Queen Sirikit, and he already has a son who will be the next king following his father.

The Thai prince is such a nice person that he lately made a flying visit to Sussex in UK for a reunion with his former teacher, Jessie Webster, now in her nineties, who taught members of the Thai royal family in the 1960s.

The prince's staff carried two bouquets of flowers into the house, and he spent about 50 minutes inside as a small group of curious neighbours gathered outside, as it hardly happen that a foreign prince comes to this area.

The former teacher had the great chance to receive a formal hug from the prince before he got into his car, as it might be the last time she meet him, the prince being soon too busy with his king's job to fly again to Britain.
