Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi, lover of the Thai king, has been further upgraded. The royal house in Bangkok published a series of more than 60 photos showing the woman privately and officially with King Maha Vajiralongkorn. In a picture, the 34-year-old also holds his hand. There is now an official CV from her.
The former nurse and bodyguard can be seen in a kind of bikini top at the wheel of an airplane. Other photos show them in combat uniform - and even in regalia at the feet of the king. The pictures were also to be seen on title pages of the Thai press.

Excerpts from Private Life: Concubine of the KingThe king is married since May in a fourth marriage to the current Queen Suthida and has seven children from previous connections. He had made the relationship with Sineenat surprisingly official last month. On his own birthday, Maha Vajiralongkorn - aka Rama X - made her "Chao Khun Phra", a sort of concubine.
In Thailand's monarchy, it used to be quite common to have a second wife. However, such a title has not been awarded for nearly a century. The couple lives more often together in Germany. The king owns a villa in Tutzing on Lake Starnberg.
