King of Thailand Turns 80

I am always amazed at how much Thai people love their king. If you go into any Thai home, even far out in the countryside, they will more than likely have a picture of the king hanging up high in their house. High in their house because Thai people always put pictures of the king higher than any other pictures hanging up. If you want to learn more about the king you should check this link out: www.bangkokpost.com/60yrsthrone/ This website was set up for the celebration of the king's 60th year of reign last year and gives a lot of interesting facts about him. Here are some pictures of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, currently the longest reigning monarch in the world who turned 80 on Wednesday.
