King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born December 5, 1927 in Cambridge, Massachusetts (USA) when he was in his father's study medicine at Harvard. After that, he spent childhood and early adult stage in Switzerland, learning and bachelor's degree in Law and Political Science of the University of Lausanne. After trying the King Ananda Mahidol - his royal parents died in a gun accident at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, King Bhumibol Adulyadej's successor on June 9, 1946. For complete program yet, Sultan to return to Switzerland to continue his education.
Then King Bhumibol returned and posted body May 5, 1950 at the royal palace in Bangkok. On the same day, ordained monarch Queen (Somdej Phra Boromarajini).After Queen Savang Vadhana (Phra Phanvasa Sawang Watthana Areekajao) died, the king ordained for 15 days (October 22 to November 5, 1956) in the tradition. During this time, Queen Sirikit was appointed regent. She later was ordained queen regent (Somdej Phra Boromarajininat).
70 years of rule the kingdom, the king is King Bhumibol has long time at home in the history of Thailand, more than 70 years, he is a devout Buddhist, once ordained, he was the people's admiration, beloved by living close, casual and moral life in the spirit of Buddhism.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej has a huge role for the country of Thailand, also by his attitude should always be that Thai people's love. His works are in the interests of the people and life. During 70 years in office, he has traveled all over the country, particularly interested in remote poor areas where people live in poverty.
Sultan put the money do make canals, water for rice fields and people do. So many people say the king bring water, not where the rain of heaven. This water source is from the Pa Sak dam projects such as Project Jolasid "Rain of Royal" by King Bhumibol directly performing and directing. When a new throne, in the 1950s, every year the Sultan also self handlebars Sikirit jeep with sitting adjacent Empress, went a total of 50,000 km, to remote places, far away to inspect people's lives longer miserable. In the minds of the people of Thailand, King is a friendly person, with a notebook and pen in hand, listens to the poorest people and full of new ideas for their life-changing. Chitralada Palace King turned his vast complex of farms, fields, processing plants - where the king can conduct experiments and make a series of proposals on agriculture and irrigation. From here, more than 2,000 schemes initiated by the King have been deployed across the country, improving the living conditions of poor rural people.
Youth, the Sultan has many passions include photography, playing and composing music for saxphone, painting and writing. Even King also has patents for the technical development of artificial rain. King of Thailand is one of the few who get a lot of patents at home and abroad, especially in engineering, though he graduated baccalaureate in French literature and forte is jazz.
Thailand under the reign of King transformed itself from an economy mainly agricultural economy became industrial and modern commercial middle class is increasing. In 2006, Secretary General Kofi Annan of the United Nations awarded him the Lifetime Achievement Award of the first Human Development of the United Nations.
70 year reign, through many ups and downs, to mark King Bhumibol's kingship in the important moments of the country. Despotic monarchy in Thailand were eliminated in 1932, so in principle the king not to interfere in politics and stand on the parties. But behind the scenes, King Bhumibol was a keen politician, powerful, became a powerful mentor to many prime ministers although he remained calm outside and discreet. For nearly seven decades of her reign, King Bhumibol has witnessed 17 coups and 27 prime ministers. Whenever Thailand country in crisis, the voice of the Sultan as an edict to reassure people, soothe the situation. His intervention in the major political events of the country always surprisingly high efficiency. Goodness and harmony led him hospitality in the center of reconciliation, whether thrones just symbolic of the nation.
In 1973, King Bhumibol first public intervention to control the political chaos in Thailand, as protesters in Bangkok democracy supporters were soldiers shot and allowed refuge in the palace . In 1981, King Bhumibol against a group of army officers carried out a coup to overthrow Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanond - a close friend of the king. The coup failed when the army units loyal to the Sultan control Bangkok.
In 1992, King Bhumibol again stood up to intervene when dozens of people were shot during the protests Minister Suchinda Kraprayoon up as prime minister of Thailand.King Bhumibol has summoned Minister Kraprayoon and protest leader is Chamlong Srimuang retired generals to a meeting. TV stations have recorded images both him prostrate before King Bhumibol to hear the rebuke.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who was then 64 years old. 05/20/1992 Evening king to convene Suchinda and Chamlong to Electric Chitralada in an encounter familial but are televised live, attracting the attention of many people, beyond the borders of Thailand .Just two days ago, the two men also aggressive wanted to devour each other, but then Suchinda Kraprayoon chin chu in dark suit with a simple and Chamlong Srimuang in the blue shirt of farmers, clad subdued before the Sultan. Two rival implacable becomes gentle a surprising way; obediently listen to King Bhumibol Adulyadej as spoiled children being the father corporal punishment and blame. King has questioned: "The aim of victory is when the winner standing on the rubble?". Then he warned of catastrophe bond, requested Suchinda and Chamlong began to cooperate "for our country, not the country of the two. The current crisis does not only affect people in Bangkok, but also the whole country. Suppose Bangkok damaged, the whole country will suffer. No one can triumph on the wreckage of the country ". Then, a democracy based on elections is restored and a new constitution was promulgated.
King Bhumibol crucial role for the identity of Thailand, and is the main force binding the country, plays an important role in the process of converting Thailand into democratic country. In 1997, the King Bhumibol signed a decree to amend the Constitution, under which the King is no longer the protector of Buddhism - Thailand's national religion. King himself was a Buddhist, but his protection to all other religions, including the Muslim community is the largest minority in southern Thailand, where frequent clashes. This helped him not only people but also admired Buddhism Muslims must also respect and admire.
Tonight is a night of sadness for all Thais least because of the great Father of the whole nation was gone forever, this loss is extremely large with Thai people. Throughout the decades, the Thai monarch is like a father to them, who had led the country to steer Thailand to overcome the change and volatility.
Heard and look at the example of the kings, emperor in the history of mankind, but probably true life of King Bhumibol will forever be a King, the Father in the hearts of the Thai people and both those who adore the King's mercy. King's water board, made by King bridge to serve the people. A king like asking why people do not respect and bow to be.
