Thailand is fortunate to have a caring and wise king with vast knowledge and far reaching compassion to lead the nation. This was said by Thai Consul General in Karachi, Mr Wichai Sirisujin, who hosted a reception last evening to celebrate the 85th birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The Thai consul general said Thailand had made great progress due to the tireless work and devotion of King Bhumibol Adulyadej who ascended the throne in June 1946 has reigned for 67 years and is the longest ruling Thai monarch. The King who is a constitutional monarch takes great interest in Thailand’s national development laying great emphasis on education, science and technology, foreign relations, water resource management, soil conservation.
