| In 1946 the King of Thailand, His
Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, came to the
throne. He is now the longest reigning monarch in the
world.He is loved and respected by his people.In a world
where few monarchies survive, Thailand is both unusual and
fortunate. Fortunate because of having a King who has both
far-reaching knowledge and generous compassion: and unusual
because throughout each year of his reign, he has become
more deeply loved and respected by his subjects. Today,
after having reigned for more than half a century, His
Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is known and admired far
beyond the borders of his own country.He was born in
Cambridge, Massachusetts on December 5, 1927. He married
Queen Sirikit on April 28, 1950.
