Despite the era of kingdoms being over, a few kings still survive across the world. One such king is Maha Vajiralongkorn, also known as King Rama X. He is the richest king of Thailand and took over the reign after the death of his father, Bhumibol Adulyadej. Vajiralongkorn’s father ruled the nation for 70 years, the longest reign of any Thai king.
