Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn's second son, Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse, has secured a government-issued ID and a Thai passport, and plans to move back to Thailand after living abroad for nearly three decades. Vacharaesorn, a former prince who resides in New York, told the Bangkok Post that his recent visits to Thailand were personal and that he had no particular agenda. The king has not formally named an heir, though succession rules favor sons.
