The King of Thailand is revered by his people. He is now 80 years old and has been on the throne for over 60 years during which time he has gained the unwavering respect of all his people due to his commitment to them. The respect in which he is held can be witnessed every day in Bangkok at 8am and 6pm. In public places the National Anthem is played and everyone (and I mean everyone) stops what they are doing and stands still. This show of reverence is heartfelt as is displayed by the people in this picture. Taken in Lumpini Park, Bangkok.
