Thai king fires officials for ‘extremely evil’ conduct

BANGKOK: Thailand’s King Vajiralongkorn has fired six officials for “extremely evil” conduct, just days after removing his royal consort for “misbehaviour and disloyalty against the monarch”.

The six include a woman, a senior police official, and two royal guards.

They were accused of “exploiting their official positions for their own or other people’s gain”.

On Monday, royal consort Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi was stripped of her rank and titles.
