Thais keep faith their frail king can end crisis
5/12/2008Sydney Morning Herald (Australia)
Some Thai military officers cried this week when they saw their beloved sovereign at a military parade. Arriving in a yellow Rolls-Royce, King Bhumibol Adulyadej looked frail, unwell and unsteady on his feet at a time he is mourning the death of his sister Princess Galyani.On Thursday night he failed to turn up at Chitralada Palace in Bangkok to make a speech marking his 81st birthday. Many Thais were shocked and saddened. It was the first time in memory he has failed to make his birthday-eve address to the nation.Two of his children said he had a throat infection that was not serious. But people here are worried.
