Good BBC analysis of what to expect from the reign of King Vajiralongkorn https://t.co/Oao81GrFiJ— Andrew MacGregor Marshall (@zenjournalist) May 7, 2019
...
(Excerpt)
The king has taken direct personal control of the crown's vast assets, valued at well over $30bn (£23bn), and which under his father were always described as being held in trust for the nation, not the king.
He has installed his closest adviser, retired Air Chief Marshall Satitpong Sukvimol, who has served King Vajiralongkorn for 14 years, to run the Crown Property Bureau, and put army chief General Apirat Kongsompong onto the board as well.
But some assets have been sold, notably a controlling stake in the international Kempinski Hotel Group, thought to be worth around $1bn. The king is also reported to have taken more direct control of significant shareholdings in the two most important royal companies.
What he plans to do with these substantial funds is not yet clear.
King Vajiralongkorn has also reclaimed royal properties in the old historic quarter of Bangkok which had been the site of important public institutions, like the city's oldest and largest zoo and the national parliament, which now have to move.
Again, it is unclear what his plans are for these strategic parcels of land.
