He has had to wait for 44 years to succeed his father as the 10th king of the Chakri dynasty in Thailand after Maha’s father passed away in 2016. Maha was named as the prince, and successor to the throne when aged only 20, and had to wait until he was 64 for his ascension to the throne. Vajiralongkorn is somewhat unusual in his behaviour, often making public appearances donning a crop top and showing the multiple tattoos that he has on his body.
