Thai people love their King
Monarchies around the world may be struggling to retain the love and allegiance of their people, but not in Thailand.
For the Thai people, the world’s longest-reigning monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, remains the most revered figure in their lives, save for Lord Buddha himself.
Thailand’s strict laws forbidding criticism of the King are hardly necessary. An accomplished jazz musician, yachtsman, artist and author, the 80-year-old monarch also devotes great energy to helping his country’s poor and has repeatedly used his immense moral authority to save his country from turmoil.
