This is a revolution with a smile and very much Thai style. Yesterday they were fighting, today they are joining hands to clean up the streets of Bangkok to prepare for more protests after December 5.
First tomorrow on December 5 it's His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday.
The Thai nation is preparing for it regardless of political direction.
A big cleaning activity has been arranged today on Ratchadamnoen Avenue in Bangkok’s historic Rattanakosin Island. Officials and protesters are seen helping each other in cleaning the royal boulevard during this morning.
iHs Majesty the King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej's was born 5 December 1927. He is the reigning King of Thailand. He is known as Rama IX. Having reigned since 9 June 1946, he is the world's longest-serving current head of state and the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history.
King Bhumibol is respected and revered by all Thais. The King is legally considered "inviolable", and lèse majesté, that is, offence against the dignity of the monarch is punished in Thailand.
Bhumibol is credited with a social-economic theory of self-sufficiency.
He was born at the Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States on 5 December 1927
According to local media reports, the anti-government protesters will continue their protests after 5 December 2013. Their five main stages remain at the Democracy Monument on Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue, Ministry of Finance on Rama VI Road, Government Complex on Chaengwattana Road, Nang Lerng Junction on Nakhonsawan-Phitsanulok Roads and Makkawan Bridge on Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue.
