	Asia Times Online :: Southeast Asia news - Thailand: All the king's men
		Images broadcast on national television of Sonthi meeting with King Bhumibol at his palace indicated overtly to the general population that the military's extra-constitutional move had the monarch's tacit approval.
		The coup of a democratically elected caretaker government, suspension of the country's progressive 1997 constitution, seizure of the national broadcasting frequencies and detention of politicians associated with the ruling political party would on the surface appear to be a giant step backward for Thailand's democratic development.
		Although the paper remains controversial, what is apparent is that Thaksin did move to sideline a number of top government officials, which in effect diluted the palace's influence inside the bureaucracy and, as one palace source believes, aimed to consolidate his power in anticipation of the post-Bhumibol era.

	Asia Sentinel - The King Never Smiles: Book Excerpt
		Thai King Bhumibol’s intervention on behalf of the NPKC constitution meant Suchinda and the generals of Class 5 would be able to control government for years.
		Rumors spread that the king was being held prisoner by the military, or that he had fled the capital with Prem to Nakhon Ratchasima, as in 1981, to muster troops against Suchinda.
		Even after the dust of May 1992 settled, the king still rejected the conclusions of numerous Thai and foreign scholars, politicians, and businessmen, that the upheaval was the result of an undeveloped political system, one excessively reliant on the monarchy and military to govern and manage development.

	BBC News \| SOUTH ASIA \| Profile: Ex-king Zahir Shah
		The former king has spent the last 28 years exiled in Italy, from where he has witnessed his country laid low by war, and the rise of the harsh Islamic regime of the Taleban.
		The exiled former king has said he has no desire to see his family returned to power - but added that he would be "ready to return to Afghanistan if it serves to help my people".
		And while the former king wants to see his country rebuilt with the help of aid from institutions like the United Nations and European Union, he is adamant that its future should be decided by its people alone.

	Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan
		King Gyanendra seized power in February last year, firing the democratically elected government, imposing emergency rule and vowing to tackle the Maoist uprising that has claimed more than 13,000 lives since 1996.
		In a somewhat unexpected move, the leftist parties in India, which tend to sympathize with the Maoists but are virulent in their anti-US stance, have welcomed US statements against the king.
		The emerging picture of King Gyanendra holding control over Kathmandu with the rest of Nepal in a state of lawlessness, a collapsed economy and rising unemployment, and the Nepalese Maoists spilling over into India is not something that Delhi wants - or, it seems, is prepared to tolerate.

	The ten-horned beast: Alexander the Great. (11) King of Asia
		He tried to be the kind of king the Persians wanted, but at too many occasions, he did not understand Persian behavior, and what trust he created, could be destroyed by one inconsiderate act.
		It is interesting to compare the motif of the 'royal warrior', which is one of the most important themes in the Achaemenid art: this is a picture (e.g., a frieze) of a king killing a standing lion.
		The king of Asia sat on the fence: he had to be a Persian to the Persians and a Macedonian to the Macedonians.

		The change was on the cards after the anti-king protests in April when the new batch of notes issued by the apex bank showed King Gyanendra without his crown, wearing the traditional Nepali cap instead that is worn by all, from ministers to commoners.

		King Bhumibol Adulyadej gave the military-appointed government a royal blessing in his annual birthday address Monday night, applauding the "personal sacrifice" of Cabinet members now running the country after the generals seized power from twice-elected premier Thaksin Shinawatra on September 19.
		The king's speeches are typically indirect and parabolic, so hardly anyone expects any outright references to the coup.
		Last week's decision to lift martial law in 41 of 76 provinces should ease some nagging criticism that hung over the heads of the generals since they seized power.
