Long live the King!
Today is the King’s birthday, as well as Fathers’ day. His Majesty is unfortunately mildly sick and will not give his traditional birthday speech, which was much awaited in this time of political turmoil. Even if the King is not directly involved in political matters, he is loved and respected as the father of the nation, so his words of wisdom always have some impact. In his birthday speech the King always covers various matters, speaks without reading notes and shows a great sense of humour.
Today everybody is invited to lit candles to celebrate the King’s 81st birthday anniversary. I already saw a few houses illuminated in Cha-Am, and there will probably be many more tonight!
