Thailand’s king has sacked four royal guards, two of them for “adultery,” in a fresh wave of palace purges a week after his royal consort was stripped of all titles for “disloyalty.”

Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn, 67, ordered the dismissal of two male guards from the “bedroom section,” the Royal Gazette announced late Tuesday.

“They have committed inappropriate acts and adultery,” the statement said.

The other two officers failed to meet the standards of the royal guard and were dismissed without compensation, according to the gazette.

Thailand’s royal family is protected by a defamation law that makes scrutiny of its actions all but impossible within the kingdom.

But the purges have offered a rare glimpse into the powerful palace, one of the wealthiest monarchies in the world.

The latest move comes after 34-year-old royal consort Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi was deprived of all royal titles three months after being appointed to the role for the first time in nearly a century.

She was accused of disloyalty and “acting against the appointment” of Queen Suthida.

Vajiralongkorn married Suthida, his fourth wife, earlier this year.

The former consort Sineenat has not been seen in public since her dismissal.

After her fall from grace six other palace officials were sacked for committing “evil actions.”

Vajiralongkorn ascended the throne in 2016 following the death of his beloved father and was crowned in an elaborate coronation ceremony in May.

  1. Pero me compre una tableta de ASUS, y salio un defecto menor, puede que sea mala suerte si, pero el servicio tecnico de ASUS me hizo pensar que el de sony es una maravilla, estos si intentaron humillarme y brillaron por su incompetencia y dejadez. Sin lugar a dudas confirmo que el servicio postventa de Sony es de los peores, si no el peor, con los que me he topado hasta ahora.

  2. Mete la ROM original que la tienes en este foro y no te compliques la vida, pero eso si, y siento ser repetitivo, llama antes a HTC Europa y que sean ellos quien te envien la hoja para enviar al SAT y estate llamandoles todos los dias advertiendoles que eres conocedor del mal servicio tecnico que tienen en este pais. Pero bueno, lo importante ahora es que tu equipo vuelva perfecto y puedas disfrutar de él.

  3. Este rechazo lo encontramos en la sociedad en general, en los medios de comunicación, en las administraciones públicas y entre los mismos profesionales de la educación y el trabajo social y otros técnicos del sistema de protección de la infancia. Pero desde este domingo, una alternativa novedosa parece asomarse para recibir buen dinero sin trabajar mucho, incluso, colgando el uniforme antes del final del contrato garantizado… y es ser técnico de los Miami Marlins.

  4. Thanks Ahmad!And this is my *other* big goal with Two Step Speaking.This is my *other* big goal with Two Step Speaking.I don’t want you to just improve your English.
    I want you to really think about how English can bring you success… make your life better… really think about what you can DO in English. And use the language to get that success, to make your life better, and to do all the things you want.

  5. Too many courses I’ve seen in the past just give you a lot of information… but don’t actually tell you what to do with it.
    Thank you for the great work you have done in 2SS course, it’s way more than just an English course. Joining this course is the best thing happened to me since a long time!

  6. Recently I’ve quoted some of the more negative emails and comments people have sent me…But today I thought I’d share some of the positive ones that I’ve got over the last two days:
    One of my big goals with Two Step Speaking is to make it as practical as possible, and actually get you DOING the process I teach, as you go through the course.

  7. Hope this comment finds you doing well, Bramwel. Thanks again for commenting.
    What many of them just don’t realize is writing a great comment can aid in those endeavors! 

  8. You’re writing a book? Awesome! I’d be thrilled if you included a paragraph to the post and linked to it in your book. (I wouldn’t mind being mentioned by name either. Haha.) Hope your readers find it useful!
    You’re not alone — I used to put the bare minimum into my blog comments, too. “Going through the motions” is how I used to refer to it!

  9. Great site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics
    talked about here? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get comments from other
    experienced individuals that share the same interest.
    If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
    Thanks a lot!
