photo of Jigme banned
The most popular Thai web forum (pantip.com) and newspaper (Thai Rath) both printed the picture, showing Jigme and an un-named woman. Thai Rath captioned it "Crown Prince Jigme Girlfiend [sic.] From Bhutan paparazzi”. Yesterday, the police Department of Special Investigation imposed a ban on any further circulation of the image, though how they intend to enforce this remains unclear. It has been quietly removed from pantip.com's archives, though a handful of smaller Thai forums are still hosting it.

They actually look really good together... I wonder where she's from. Perhaps the media overreacted.. it wasn't even a scandalous picture, pretty benign don't you think? Now that poor woman has become a target of hatred among Thai women, and she probably doesn't even know it!
It does seem benign, though also quite intimate. I'm sure loads of Thai women (and men) are very jealous.
I can honestly say I'm not jealous lol I used to live with one of his best friends, a Bhutanese diplomat's daughter, in the UK. I talked to him online once, and he asked if I wanted to meet him sometime, but I kindly declined. I don't go for Asian men and I don't need the money, he also seemed a bit immature and spoiled.
She's a pretty girl though, if she's his girlfriend, I hope they're happy!
@Claire - Yeah right in your dreams!
Claire, are you the same Claire who commented two years ago?
Of course, Jigme was crowned King of Bhutan today.

This is hilarious. They are just high school friends. Not dating. I recognize both.
