The Thai king lives in Germany? Why? Anyone can freely criticise him there.

  He might actually be doing his subjects a favor, if he lived that life closer to their eyes chances are that far more would feel an urge to criticize him despite the prison threat. (obviously, the good thing to do would end both, stop the permanent vacation and stop the prison threats)

  In Germany, lese majeste laws made it technically illegal to insult a foreign leader until the law was abolished in 2017. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Böhmermann_affair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Böhmermann_affair

  Because: - No one cares there. There are many elites in Thailand that don't like him. Thai elites only like his father! The current king's behaviour does not spark joy (does not serve their cultural value whatever). I'm quite sure there are more people in Thailand than in Germany who like to criticize the king (and they've been gossiping for many decades!, he does not like these gossip .. he can't throw these elites in jail easily, too much damange) - Bavaria is nicer than Bangkok apparently since he like riding bikes .. nicer nature than bangkok. - He likes power, money, women, but he does not like anything that interfere his private life! In thailand, he has to do lots of ceremonies, it's annoying.
