Because His Majesty is humble, down-to-earth, hard-working and selfless.
He went out of his way on hiking and jungle-trekking to collect information and used it all to provide irrigation system to millions of farmers and create jobs for millions of poor people.
Having a super-privileged status, he is the only one that launched a series of tangible development campaigns to help underprivileged people in remote and underdeveloped areas to make a living.
He trod on muddy and sandy walkways to visit marginalized communities and guess what the government started road constructions in his footsteps.
An elected government is not the answer in running the country. This country needs someone that sacrifices and we ve had His Majesty.
And you know what, His Majesty did it all with only one eye and a fracture in his backbone for 70 years!
The problem you have is not about us. It s about you. You in the West have a weak and misled definition of selfless. His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej is a true selfless figure ever graced this earth.
