In November 2023, Prince Tibanggong of Thailand, who has been studying in Germany, returned to China successfully, his eyes were clear, and he was slightly ruthless, not at all like he had a learning Xi disorder.
In the early years, the Thai royal family issued a statement saying: "Prince Tibanggong does have some unspeakable secrets in learning Xi. "The implication is that it's a bit stupid to help you.
But judging from the current photos, Tibanggong is the smartest person, and his previous stupidity is likely to be pretended.
Stupidity is just his protective color
He is the son of the current King Maha Vajiralongkorn and his third wife, Sirami, and is currently the only prince of the Thai King with royal status.
When Tibanggong was born, he was also a collection of thousands of favors, and at that time, his mother Sirami was still Maha's favorite concubine, and her position in the harem was also very stable.
Tibangkorn is the only legal male member of the Thai royal family in recent decades, and his four older brothers were all born out of wedlock, and he was also stripped of his royal status by Maha.
His name was also chosen by his grandfather, King Bhumibol himself, and it means wise, prosperous and benevolent, and it is clear that his birth was highly anticipated.
Tibanggong's childhood should be very happy, he can enjoy the love of his parents and grandparents alone, even if he does something wrong, he will not be harshly criticized.
But all this beauty was shattered when he was nine years old, and in 2014, Sirami lost his reputation because of a "nude photo".
In the photo, Princess Sirami is almost half-naked, lying on the ground feeding a dog.
This is too different from the princess's noble and people-friendly image in the past, and the people can't accept it at all.
Soon after, it was rumored that Sirami was once a stripper in a dance hall, which shocked the people even more.
The royal family is like a god in the hearts of the Thai people, noble and inviolable, and no one can accept a stripper as their own god.
In addition, Sirami's mother's family was suspected of corruption at that time, and Maha took away the title of Princess Sirami in a fit of anger and let her go to the temple to shave her hair and practice.
Tibanggong, who was only nine years old, has since lost the protection of his mother, and his father is a playboy, so he doesn't pay much attention to his life at all, he can only rely on himself.
Perhaps the best way for a child to protect himself is to pretend to be crazy and stupid, no one will be interested in a fool, and no one will be wary of a fool.
It didn't take long for Tibanggong's father Maha to return to the palace with other women, and he had long forgotten Sirami.
However, compared to his brothers, Tibanggong is lucky, at least he is the only son that Maha admits.
Later, Maha sent Tibanggong to study in Germany, except for holidays and some special days, Tibanggong rarely returned to Thailand.
The help of those who are far away in Germany is naturally far away from the deceit of the royal family, and they can spend their youth smoothly.
But born in the royal family, how can he really escape the battle for the throne.
In the past two months, Tibanggong's elder brother, Vacharasong, who has no royal status, returned to Thailand in a high-profile manner, which was intended to compete for the crown prince's position.
Battle for the throne
After Tibanggong learned the news of the second prince's high-profile return to Thailand, he also immediately appeared in front of the public, and this time he was no longer as stupid and demented as before.
Although the second prince Vacharasong has not yet returned to the royal family, nor has he been recognized by King Maha of Thailand, he can't stand that he is really good.
The second prince graduated from the University of Washington in the United States and also has a doctorate degree in law, and is a proper senior intellectual.
Tibanggong, who is only eighteen years old, has just graduated from high school, and he has not yet heard of any prestigious school he attended.
Whether it is in terms of knowledge or social experience, the second prince Vacharasong is much better than Tibanggong.
But the biggest problem with the second prince is that he is not recognized by the king of Thailand, he does not even have the status of a prince at present, what to take to inherit the throne.
The second prince's mother, Yu Wada, was once expelled from the royal family by Maha for cheating. So if he wants to return to the royal family, there is still some difficulty.
But without the permission of the King of Thailand, how could the second prince dare to return to Thailand in such a high-profile manner? After all, Maha had ordered that the five of them, mother and son, should not return to Thailand.
But the king of Thailand did not summon the second prince, let alone restore his royal status.
In order to have the possibility of inheriting the throne, the second prince also divorced his American wife.
Thai law clearly states that their king can only marry a native woman, and must not marry a foreign woman. If you marry a foreign woman, you are automatically deemed to have renounced your right to inherit the throne.
The second prince's return this time is definitely not just as simple as visiting the people and exploring Maha's tone, he has already held the determination not to give up until he gets the throne.
The second prince is not the only competitor of Tibanggong, he also has two older sisters and an illegitimate brother.
Originally, Tibanggong's biggest opponent was his sister Princess Pa, Princess Pa was the eldest daughter born to Maha's original concubine Song, and behind her was the illustrious Yukun family.
In addition, Princess Pa herself is also very good, and she is even more handy in handling various government affairs, and she also has a high support rate among the people.
But in December last year, Princess Pa fell and couldn't wake up, and there was almost no possibility of recovery, so naturally there would be no threat to Tibanggong.
There is also Si Ruifan, who is known as the princess of the mythical beast by Thai monks, although she has no prominent background, but her body is full of mythology.
Princess Sirifan, who was originally obsessed with a fashion career, inherited most of her public activities after Princess Phra fell ill, and her political influence also increased significantly.
It is said that the current queen Suthida also has a 9-year-old son who is hiding abroad, although she does not have royal status at present, but she will be picked up by the king of Thailand one day, after all, his mother is now the orthodox queen.
The Thai royal family still gives preference to male heirs, so Tibanggong's biggest competitors are the second prince Vacharasong and the queen's 9-year-old son.
Thai Maha is 71 years old this year, and it is believed that he will soon choose an heir to the throne, and the mystery will soon be revealed.
