Today, on the occasion of the inauguration of the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam, His Majesty presides over the integration of a development project which links provinces in the whole basin and their hinterland with metropolitan Bangkok, fully integrating new technologies yet reaffirming and building on traditional culture and values.
At a time when too many countries are experiencing political instability and economic turmoil, religious and communal strife, and a difficult future, Thailand is blessed with a Monarch who not only restored the traditional dignity of the monarchy but re-established the prestige of the Kingdom.
