King Bhumibol Adulyadej celebrates his 60th year of coronation today. The King, also known as Rama IX by farang, has reigned as monarch since June 9th 1946. Upon the day of his crowning ceremony he was officially wed to Queen Somdej Phra Boromarajini and stated to “reign with righteousness for the benefit and happiness of the Siamese people”.
The people of Thailand hold a very strong bond with the King and consider him with utmost regard which extends to all of the royal family. He is a highly educated man with an abundance of skills ranging across ecology, photography, philosophy and music as well as many more.
All throughout Thailand from the South to the North Thai people hold May 5th to be a national holiday and can be seen celebrating the day with happiness and thanks in their heart.
It is incredibly hard to put into words the absolute love that is so abundant across Thailand for the King. Here is a short song in English that someone has written which gives a brief overview of his hard works and shows citizens praise him for all his efforts.
