Meet Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse, son of billionaire Thailand king Rama X, who has become monk, his move may....
Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse, the estranged son of Thailand's King Rama X who was disowned, recently appeared on Instagram and had posted a series of images on Instagram.
In the images, he appears as a Buddhist monk, hinting that the move may have royal backing and deeper implications for Thailand's uncertain royal succession. The ordination of Vivacharawongse, commonly referred to as Than Oun, has renewed the debate around who will become Thailand's next king.
Who is Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse?
Vacharaesorn is the second son of King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) and his former wife, actress-turned-royal Sujarinee Vivacharawongse (formerly Yuvadhida Polpraserth). Born in 1981, Vacharaesorn was raised in the United States after being exiled from the Thai royal family in 1996, along with his mother and three brothers.
Vacharaesorn showed his presence in public events since his surprise return to Thailand in 2023. Notably, despite growing up abroad and living as a civilian, he has remained connected to the Thai community.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn has been married four times and is known for maintaining both a queen and a royal consort, reviving centuries-old palace traditions. His health, age, and complicated family dynamics have thrown the royal succession into question.
Why is the royal succession unclear?
Thailand laws of succession prioritise male heirs, but King Rama X's only officially recognised son, Prince Dipangkorn, is believed to suffer from a developmental condition that may hinder his ability to rule. Meanwhile, most of Rama X's other sons, including Vacharaesorn, were stripped of their royal titles in 1996.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha, his eldest child from his first marriage, was once seen as a potential heir – if the king chose to rewrite the laws that don't allow a woman on the throne.
