Thailand’s king has signed a marriage equality bill into law, making the country the first in South East Asia to recognise same-sex unions.

Was he in Thailand for that? From what I hear, he spends most of his time in Bavaria, Germany.
I think he just swans back when it’s convenient to keep up appearances.
