The king's parents met in cambridge, massachusetts,where both were studying medicine; hisfather at harvard,and his mother at simmons college. His majesty only lived there as an infant,but his presence is still very much felt in cambridge.
Ican speak with a bit of authority on this subject because, before i had the privilege of serving in the obama administration, i was a professor in cambridge at harvard's kennedy school of government. And my walk to and from campus often took me through king bhumibol square, which sits adjacent to the kennedy school, and was named in honor of his birth.
