Sawasdeee wan paw khrap

December 5, 2006

Today is the king of Thailand, HRH King Bhumibol Adulyadejs’ 79th birthday. It is also the day that Thai people celebrate Fathers’ Day, as the king is looked on as the father of the country. The king is rightly revered by almost every Thai person and this year is particularly special as it marked the 60th anniversary of his coronation. Most people will wear yellow shirts today displaying the king’s emblem, as a show of respect.
