Hmmm...

Thailand’s controversial king has been self-isolating in a luxury hotel in the Alpine resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen with his entourage.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn (https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/king-maha-vajiralongkorn), also known as Rama X, is said to have booked out the entire Grand Hotel Sonnenbichl after the four-star hotel received “special permission” from the district council to accommodate his party.


The 67-year-old king’s entourage included a “harem” of 20 concubines and numerous servants, reported German tabloid Bild (https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/unterhaltung/leute/leute/wegen-corona-thai-koenig-macht-luxus-hotel-in-bayern-zu-seinem-wohnhaus-69581458,view=conversionToLogi n.bild.html). It is unclear if his four wives are living in the hotel with the rest of the group.

When I was in Thailand, everyone spoke well of Royalty. I think you can be arrested for criticizing the royal family. And also, there are Buddha statues everywhere, some very large. Even a mini shrine in every parking lot.

Bangkok, was a nice and safe place for tourists and businesses for the most part (at least before Corona). If you are like me, and not very adventurous in regards to food, there are plenty of American fast food joints to eat at. I ate at the McDonalds across from my hotel.

Ford Raptor's were popular there. But they told me that nice trucks are kind of a luxury vehicle there and expensive.
