YES. While most Asian countries are no longer monarchies, some Asian countries still have kings or queens, like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Thailand, and Cambodia. Others have hereditary sovereigns (monarchs) who are not specifically called "kings" or "queens". For example, Brunei and Oman are both Sultanates and Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE are all Emirates, but all five are ruled by people who are effectively kings, even though the title will be "sultan" or "emir".

Additionally, in India, there are the Maharaja, who are the descendants of the former kings of the various independent regions of India. However, while the Maharaja keep their titles, they have very little if any political power or governmental role.
