Australia was first inhabited by Aboriginals, but then a bunch of British convicts were exiled there. I am wondering whether the Aboriginals considered the British convicts to be "riffraff." What group could be considered more riffraff than a bunch of convicts?

If I understand correctly, His Majesty King Bhumibhol Adulyadej was born and educated in the United States. It would seem that citizens of a country that so welcomed His Royal Majesty would be welcome in Thailand. Of course, those who misbehave I would expect to be treated accordingly.

Upon further investigation I have learned that HRM was at school in Switzerland when he ascended the throne after the death of his brother. My comment about him being born in the U.S. is, however, correct.
Quote[/b] ]His Royal Highness Prince Mahidol of Songkla, the Royal Father of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, was born on January 1, 1892 to Their Majesties King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) and Queen Savang Vadhana of Thailand. The Prince was an alumnus of Harvard School of Public Health, and Harvard Medical School, as well as member of the Alpha Omega Alpha. His wife: Her Royal Highness Somdej Phra Sri Nakarindra Boromrajajonnani (Princess Mother of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej ofThailand) was an alumna of Simmons College. (His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej himself was born at Mount Auburn Hospital in the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts.)
