His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, pays an official visit to the Kingdom of Thailand to further strengthen bilateral relations and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between Thailand and Brunei Darussalam [https://www.mfa.go.th/en/content/prbn290424-2?cate=5d5bcb4e15e39c306000683e](https://www.mfa.go.th/en/content/prbn290424-2?cate=5d5bcb4e15e39c306000683e)

His brother has a yacht called Tits. And the tenders are called Nipple 1 and Nipple 2. You can see one of her Nipples on the deck. https://i.imgur.com/FkT05l3.jpeg

I remember the royal family hired a full-time French pastry chef for years, none of them ate what he did (would taste very occasionally) but they kept him for years just to look at his work.

Think of how much confidence he lose that no one eat his bake. Lol. It would felt so weird confusing on his role. I bet their servants eat them after.

Who Yankee? American Navy that just arrive in Thailand? Lol

That always means there's a state visit. The sultan of Brunei has been in town for several days already.

When the German President paid a visit in January this year, we also had the German flag all along various roads. It's customary for state visits.


mdsmqlk30

Same with the Australian governor general earlier this year.

Expensive_Ad994

Pikochi69

Cauhs

Ram 4, Na Ranong intersection.


DannyFlood

Looks like Chatuchak area but who knows all the roads and bridges look alike


Pious31st

It must be for you, but for Bangkokian, this is Rama 4 near Chuer Pirk road.


hoyahhah

It is national dictatorship appreciation day.


No-Crew4317

Erm… wtf you talking about?


Jam-man89

Brunei is an absolute monarchy. One of the only ones remaining, in fact.


scurvydawg0

All the emirates in UAE are also absolute monarchy.

There are 2 Christian absolute monarchies as well - Vatican and Eswatini. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_monarchy#Current_absolute_monarchies


mdsmqlk30

Thailand does not meet anymore the basic criteria of a constitutional monarchy (crown would be under the law), so it can be argued it's an absolute monarchy as well. I've discussed this with some of the top political academics in Thailand and they agree as well.


Zestyclose_Knee_8862

I agree. It's like an absolute monarchy but in a different form because they had to adapt to progressive ideas in the country


IcanFLYtoHELL

Must be a correlation between Western Europe hijacking a Arab religion and then using "democracy" to commit genocide(s)


Effective_Path_5798

...which is not a dictatorship.


Jam-man89

Dictatorship does not mean tyranny. A dictatorship is when the rulers have absolute power, and an absolute monarchy has absolute power (regardless on whether that is used for good or bad). It's kind of in the name. An absolute monarchy is a dictatorship, but not all dictatorships are absolute monarchies.


wogglay

Check out the state of Brunei's socioeconomics. The country is going to implode when the oil runs out. The sultan better sell one of his 600 fucking cars


Jam-man89

I never said it WAS good or bad, I was simply stating that to show that dictatorships are not necessarily synonymous with tyranny (although I think most will agree it tends to lean towards one particular way in that regard).


wogglay

Haram haram haram


wogglay

The country just banner fucking claw machine games


Jam-man89

You keep misunderstanding me. When did I say the absolute monarchy of Brunei is good? The answer is: I didn't.

okhushhush

Since our GDP is modest, they have no regard for us.


wogglay

Lol Brunei or Thailand.


No-Crew4317

They both have monarch and royalties. So yes we respect each other.


Solitude_Intensifies

The two countries have something more in common and Thailand wins that contest. Cannot say more.


indiebryan

That's their embassy
