King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand was born in 1927 in Cambridge, Massachusetts while his father was studying at Harvard University. He spent parts of his childhood in both Thailand and Switzerland, receiving his education in Europe. He ascended to the throne in 1946 and went on to become the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history, serving for over 70 years until his death in 2016.

day

2. History of King
He was born at the Mount Auburn Hospital
in Cambridge, Massachusetts , in the United States
on 5 December 1927. He was the younger son of
HRH Prince Mahidol Adulyadej and Mom Sangwan
(later HRH Princess Srinagarindra, the Princess
Mother: Somdet Phra Si Nakharinthra
Boromaratchachonnani). His name, Bhumibol Adulyadej,
means "Strength of the Land, Incomparable Power".His father was
enrolled in the Public Health program at Harvard University, hence his
unusual place of birth for a monarch. Bhumibol came to Thailand in
1928, after Prince Mahidol obtained a certificate from Harvard. He
briefly attended Mater Dei school in Bangkok but in 1933 his mother
took the family to Switzerland, where he continued his education at
the Ecole Nouvelle de la Suisse Romande in Lausanne. He received
the baccalaurat des lettres (high-school diploma with major in French
literature, Latin, and Greek) from the Gymnase Classique Cantonal

4. Father’s day
Daddy’s hands were soft & kind
when I was crying
Daddy’s hands were hard as steel
when I’d done wrong,
Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle,
but I’ve come to understand…
There was always love in Daddy’s
hands.

*********************************
We all look like a clod of earth,
Fragile, valueless, and meaningless
We are weak like mud flowing along the path
After water running dry, it becomes drought
There is only a power that can hold,
And make us stronger
The power to gather many people together to be a powerful strength,
That can make a large piece land from each single clod of earth
* We all know how much our Father is exhausted
He has never stopped working hard
Since he knows he’s only the power of the land,
To help us continue living our lives as appropriate
If we want to give our Father a present,
Could we all get together?
Being the same piece of land so as to make our Father happy
Without fatigue for any longer (Repeat *)
Doing good things to make our Father happy
Without fatigue as he used to get in the past
