Thread: Some remarkable scenes from the king and queen's appearance with the (presumably carefully selected) public at the palace area this evening. The king was introduced to a man who recently made headlines for standing among youth protesters holding a royal portrait. /1 
The king thanked him, touched him on the shoulder and said he was very brave. The king also gave a friendly greeting to a man who appears to be Buddha Issara, touching him several times and whispering in his ear. /2
Buddha Issara is a former monk who led a radical faction of the royalist-nationalist PDRC protest in 2014. He was then defrocked for a number of crimes, including firearms offences and misuse of royal insignia. He recently vowed to rally supporters to "defend the monarchy" /3
