- Under increasing pressure from protesters demanding reforms to the monarchy, Thailand’s king and queen met with thousands of adoring supporters in Bangkok. Crowds of royal devotees reached out to touch the monarch's hand, and gave the couple yellow roses as they went by. Members of the media were also allowed unusually close access. In a rare interview given to CNN and Channel 4 News, the king’s gave his first public comments on the pro-democracy demonstrations which have gripped the country for months. When asked what he would say to the protesters, King Maha Vajiralongkorn first said 'no comment' before adding 'we love them all the same' and that 'Thailand is a land of compromise'. Protesters say King Maha Vajiralongkorn's powers are too great and want to reverse changes that gave him personal control of some army units and a palace fortune valued in the tens of billions of dollars

He looks moody and scary. The Queen is like his nurse or secretary.
Queen is the best queen
@@srisainarong all his women are just after money and position. Trying to do their best so won’t get fired by him.
Yeah you right
He looked at his daughter on his left hand side that try to prevent him from reporter with microphones record which is impolite or not appropriate to do that.
she's his harem manager. you're right. she's also his secretary. you could say that she has some talents. she has stayed as his fav for so many years while others got replaced. however, in this short interview, you could see that her reply was quite... lol.
That ultra royalist woman is totally blind and deaf.
No brain people
Obviously
Who are you?
@@paridoesupcycling she is no different from Trump voter...no brain people
@@spjensen She lived under a monarch who truly did for the people and he was beloved by the entire nation, she probably have hope for the current one but we know the rest
No love, no peace and no compromise from the monarchy... This is not the land of compromise. He lives too long in Europe.
That ' s true.
Thailand is the land of compromise, right .
right
That's true and I'm Thai.
I know and see everything in Thailand
Blabla ....and his father was an American....shure thailand is the land of compromise, better than countrys like germany with here dictator goverment...
That fact that he replied to the reporter is unprecedented.
my thought as well... but he has to... I bet he return to Thailand only because this protest...
That woman sounds delusional saying she's willing to sacrifice her life for the king dressed in expensive clothing living in a palace.
@outlawstars100 The emperor's new clothes- read it. You'll understand his/her comment.
I thought he lived in Germany all this while? Angela Merkel even told him to move out if he gonna do state business in German soil.
They are royalists, what do you expect?
It worths a great fortune for her.

Imagine the Thai media talking to the queen of England like that.
Exactly. These people have no respect.
Our monarchy is not to be disrespected like this.
the face looked very sick after non-stop party 24/7. can't even stand on his own. how to lead people...
He love drugs
He hasn't been partying. He has medical issues. No one knows what the issues are but he gets the best treatment in Germany.
monachy must be reform otherwise many corrupt will be exist
There is nothing better than this,i hope that’s can be happen.
Thaksin sinawat waiting to be come back to thailand if monarchy abolished. And sure corruption will be much more heavy if he come back. This protestor called are backup by him while at USA exile
@@nadzrinpuad1283 nah.. thaksin never wanted the monarch to be abolished. it's his channel to power using his money.
Its needs to be reform or take what happened to the French Monarch for example
@@nadzrinpuad1283 your comment is not true
Him face has changed suddenly when interviewed
The King is suppose to protect and unify the thai people together for the betterment of the Thai nation. The monarchy need to change for the better to insure that the monarchy will protect thai people and their rights not just thai king and his family but all thai people. I wish the best for Thailand and monarchy and hope they can coexist again as one.
Long live Thailand and the Monarchy!! 🇹🇭 👑
the king should just be a ceremonial symbolic without any political powers. that's what countries in this age should be.
I'm Thai and I want president not a king.
Really?
@@user-ml2md6bh2g As fellow Thai who live under our old beloved King Bhumibol, he truly was the unifying figure of our nation and a great man who was there for his people, we know how the new king is and he will never topped our former king
@@taejo4975 I do hope that this king will be the last king of Thailand, enough coup enough monarchy for Thailand.
No compromise to this king... abusers will not compromise. This is the land of smiley abuses.
He is high as a kite.
I thought that!
the woman 0:45 wouldn't like this comment lol
Gotta love Jonathan Millar. Great reporter.
I'm completely unaware of what is going on here, but the vibes that this video shows are the ones similar north korea's. That King seems detached from reality
Exactly
The reallity in our country is that our king "has donated his money to buy medical devices for hospitals around the country" and this is reality has protected Thailand against Corona virus unlike many developped countries. This is the fact or reality even you never known
@@wanthanachanakul1591
Yes 👍
The King of Thailand, has acted on a issue soo important, where others failed.
This was where he was able, and acted accordingly.
On protesters who want reform in government and education, that’s not done with money over night.
That’s done with leadership, over many years, where the people itself, has to make all the small changes, that finally will make a result.
Interesting, dont get me wrong, i dont live there and sadly i know very little about Thailand
@@joaky1989 I want Thailand to get rid of Lèse majesté law.
How many ears must they have before they can hear people cry.
Nice Dylan quote 🥰
.... is blowin' in the wind
@@fsxmantra No answer at all.
check his expression when saying "Thailand is land of Compromise" .. strange
The King think he's the reincarnated famous warrior Khun Pean.
Lol
Wht 555
there is a thai amulet call khom pen, i think its same right?
Daniel Loh . Yup, there is one famous Royal warrior named Khun Pean.
I feel that Thai face is under some kind of pressure and pretending to be smiling
On behalf of Thai people if you are not Thai and you wasn’t there. It’s hard to understand us.
you got us bro 🤣🤣
I thought it was the design on the Queen's clothes, but then well, it's sweat..
The King said very little. But the few words he said was well spoken 🙏🏻
I believe, even most Thai protesters love the King, and the King and Queen love all Thai people.
The King and the Queen are both well educated and very intelligent, if anyone can compromise a new unity and brighter future for Thailand, I believe they are the ones.
Democracy still ask for a head of the State. President or King.
That’s an easy choice in Thailand because Thai’s do love their King.
Any head of State on the planet, can rightfully be envious of the Thai Monarchs, as they are chosen from love off the people.
What a bunch of total rubbish. President's and King's are very different. The last person to insult the King on Facebook got 35 years in Prison. Sorry but your comment is so uninformed it's laughable.
you really have no idea do you?
@@tommorgan7599
Thailand is different than rest of the world.
Yes, if insulting the King, you can get punished.
If you go protest on the lawn off the White House, you probably get a death sentence, without a court.....
That’s not the issue. The issue is, that someone can and will take care.
Thailand tried Military rule. And even I believe he did very well, and really tried to make some kind of democracy, that didn’t work out in the end.
Democracy don’t come over night, it’s a long and slow process.
I live in a Democracy, where Monarchs are head of State. To me, it’s not perfect, but way better than a president.
@@tfhmobil Firstly, lets not conflate breaking into the White House to making a comment on Facebook, that's silly. Also, recently two people have climbed the gate and run across the lawn to the house before being stopped, None we're shot, none are in prison. I'm going to stop now because I think your history and critical thinking skills are too underdeveloped for this conversation.
@@tommorgan7599
Tsk tsk tsk.
No, let’s not ....
You are working your way out off subject.
Does this have anything to do with the harsh prison sentences and corrupt police in Thailand ??
This is unusual I can tell.
Hopefully he forgive "his subjects" from his neighbouring countries. The police in that countries acted on reports of lest mejeste and got people thrown into jailed for speaking against him.
If those criminals said the truth, they would have not left the country. In fact, those criminals told lie and criticizing the king with no prove or evidence. It against a the law. They can prove their innocence in court, but they chose to leave because they have no prove.
Johnny Golightly yes, 😢😢
@Johnny Golightly i think one malaysian got into jail for Facebook status about him..not really sure..
Maybe malaysian sultan afraid of domino effect..😂
I respect the king
What exactly do you respect in your king?
Long live His Majesty the King, Rama the 10th of the illustrious and great ruling Royal House of Chakri.
Long live our Monarchy our traditions our people and our Kingdom. Long live Thailand.
Yes
The king is not well.
Not just Thai people who love the King. There were still foreigners showing their love for the king, such as this German, who came to practice the royal song at this event.
The King helps Thai people, for example, donating a coronavirus vehicle. Mobile for public inspection Granted a large number of survival bags For flood victims in various provinces Give 13 caves child aid equipment to live in Khun Nam Nang Non. Helping fire extinguishing equipment in the north, donating 2400 million baht to the hospital to build a building for the sick. His Highness sponsors schools in the wilderness. Develop water reservoirs for people to use in agriculture 25 projects and. Develop 3000 projects of the previous King etc. I love my king
He is on drugs or something else.
His Majesty looks apprehensive amongst the populace compared to her Majesty.
He’s really weird
@Captain Insano Shows no mercy Galahad. Waste my time. Who are you? Not Thai? If not don't busy.
Yes he is
@@user-dy3wv1xf2u วิจารณ์ไม่ได้หรอ
don’t go to Thailand
that word's not enough to describe him.
His time is up.
U first bro
He’s not even in power
He does not look well...
Yes I think he is sick or that because of the bulletproof vest he wore?
drugs
Criminals always say,
"NO COMMENT"..
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When there are slaves , there will be kings.
True king are there for their people but he is something else :/
best comment award
When it comes to rememberance day, remember all those people thought and died for people like him.
Thought
AI Hia Tuuuuu!
I hear too!
If he said "no comment", it's possible that he's taking the country's burdens for GRANTED.
The king need to understand that the protesters have the larger numbers, but just like Belarus the dictator or Thai king, is not going to give up power without a fight, so they hope that the protesters will get tired of complaining give up and go home.
The Thai king isn’t in power. Thailand is under a military dictatorship
@@vintageenthusiast23 If the Military does not have the power to remove the Monarchy that means the King is more powerful than the military and the Military needs the King, his rich family members, his rich and poor supporters to keep everyone in line, meaning the king is still in charge.
The king got military and not to mention there's also old people with yellow shirt who devoted their believes in the royalties and created their own mob to counter act protest as well. With all of that, Protester got assaulted by those yellow shirt cultist and kidnap by group non-uniform police then send to jail without a warrant every single day. That's rough.
@@vintageenthusiast23 the military SERVES the royal family . The king appointed army generals himself.
The wealth of thailand people already being robbed by ex prime minister taksin sinawat. He is the richest people in thailand with corruption and nepotism. That is how the protestors exist. This event started long ago since 2008 after he being exile and kept continue till now
THE World is with thiland peaple
I wonder how many of these people are paid to show up to these events...I've heard some of the attendees are government employees who have no choice but to go.
We will love our King and Monarchy forever,,,
Long live monarchy long live Thailand. Love from india. Jay phra ishuan
@@s.chowdhury5421 Thanks for you love my King and Monarchy,My friend,,,
Long live the King. Long live the Chakri Dynasty. Long live the Kingdom of Thailand and great glorious ancient Siam.
The truth is the truth no matter what you say, if your action do not prove the truth of your words then your words are nothing more than lies
Thailand history is with royal family. Royal family also needs to modernize with the century of people culture, but without royal in Thailand will make, it is not Thailand, no more Thai people in this world. Be proud for your culture. Don't too much westernised, it's not suit to Thailand.
The king himself choose to enjoy his luxurious life instead of being the responsible king. Since he loves to be in Germany n took his position for granted, i don't think being stripped as a king will shock him much. Even he try to act as a king now (after the pressure from protester), his did it just to save his royal status. whats the point of being a king that cant even functioned properly for the people. Enjoy the vacation for month with consort? Wear crop top? Sorry for my poor english
Long live the King. Long live the Chakri Dynasty. Long live the Kingdom of Thailand, successor to the great land of Siam.
No king
Only Human
Only this time the queen never leave the king's arm. She hold it so tight.
Holding him up
I'm afraid you guys need to learn Thai history before you start to comment or misunderstand the whole picture of how Thailand was form country as today. You are not able to compare Thailand or other Asian countries with the western countries. Most of the Thai People still prefer to have monarchy combine with the democracy as we need to have the middle guys to be between the government and the Thai populations.
@Kay ถ้าคุณได้เรียนรู้ประวัติศาสตร์ ของมนุษยชาติ คุณก็คงจะไม่ตั้งคำถาม เพราะเรื่องเหล่านี้ไม่ได้มีอยู่แค่ที่ประเทศไทย

Hope that the democratic will of the people is respected in Thailand as well as minority groups. Say no to monarchs and military controlling the country.
It’s basically not even about that. Thailand is under military dictatorship. The king is a figurehead

This ‘man’ should not be king. His sister Phra Thep, Princess Maja Chakkri Sirinthon should have ascended to the royal throne. She is like her late father the king...wise, highly educated, but with common sense, loved by the people, and truly loves her people. Truly a shame for the country.

The king is not a gpod man .
I want a new king right now🤦♂️
