<p>The change of laws which transfer the crown assets into the name of King Vajiralongkorn has made him one of the wealthiest monarch in the world. Prachatai take a look into related laws to find out whether they are taxable or not.</p>

<p>While resistance in some institutions is clearly visible, the same cannot be said of the judiciary. The &ldquo;twilight zone&rdquo; remains as mysterious as ever, but Thais cannot help but ask whether something surreptitious is going on in there.</p>

<p>Student-led pro-democracy protests have been going on for months. One of their tactics is to use royalist symbols, quotations and traditions as satirical weapons to challenge and criticize the government, tradition and society overall.</p>

<p>A small crowd already began gathering at the SCB headquarters by 13.50 of 25 November, while SCB had announced earlier in the morning that its headquarters would be closed for the day.</p>

<p>The German government has said that it has no evidence that King Vajiralongkorn has done anything that violates German law, international law, or internationally guaranteed human rights during his time in Germany.</p>

<p>Protesters gathered near the Grand Palace waiting to hand their letters to King Vajiralongkorn, saying that the monarchy needs reform.</p>

<p>In a very rare ambush interview, King Rama X responds to a question from a foreign reporter about pro-democracy protesters by saying &ldquo;We love them all the same&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Thailand is the land of compromise.&rdquo; &nbsp;Meanwhile the protesters are not backing down on monarchy reform.</p>

<p>An MP from Germany&rsquo;s Green Party has questioned the German Foreign Ministry about its position towards the protests in Thailand and Thai King&rsquo;s status in Bavaria. The Foreign Minister insists that Thai politics must not be conducted from German territory.</p>

<p>King Vajiralongkorn has deemed Thai Royal Consort Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi &lsquo;unblemished&rsquo;, according to the Royal Gazette. While her official titles have been restored as if they had never been stripped from her, many Thais welcomed her back with unexpected forms of&nbsp;wordplay.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>A professor at NIDA has written in defence of King Vajiralongkorn, saying that His Majesty prefers to keep a low profile as he works hard in his own ways.&nbsp;</p>

<p>All government agencies have been told to organize ceremonies for His Majesty the King&rsquo;s 68th birthday while everyone is urged to wear yellow in July.</p>

<p>Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi was removed from her post as Royal Consort of King Vajiralongkorn on 20 October.</p>
