Everybody has a great respect for HM The King. And nobody would even think of disturbing any celebration to his honor. This is one more way in which HM seeks contact with his people. Therefor I am always kind of jealous when I come in Thai houses and I see a picture of HM The King, handing over a diploma. Mostly he wants to see them back after they have finished their studies.
HM has a wide field of interests and talents.
He is not only a gifted musician and composer , but he is also a gifted painter and photographer . His Works of Art can be seen in Bangkok in several museums. Closing remarks We should realize that HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej reached the age of 72 years on 5 December 1999 . So you cannot expect him to be as active as he was in the many former years of his reign. Nowadays he delegates certain activities to others, like his son, the Crown Prince.
