WHY THAI PEOPLE LOVE THE KING SO MUCH?
Why do the Thais love the king so much? The answer is that, the king is the most beloved person of the kingdom. He has done so many things for people of Thailand.
First of all, let me tell you what the king said. On the day that the king was crowned, more than 60 years ago, the king said, "We will reign with righteousness. For the benefit of the Siamese people". He keeps his promise throughout his reign.
Second of all, having been on the throne for more than 60 years, the king has helped and supported a lot of poor people in Thailand, especially, the farmers and the ethnic minorities living in the mountainous areas. The major example of his works is the royal initiated projects, more than 4200 of which have been launched throughout the country to make sure that his children can rely on themselves.
For example, he turned the opium farming
areas at the Golden Triangle, the border of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, to be cultivation areas for crops from cold countries.
