Honoring the king and queen

The people of Thailand deeply love and respect their king and queen. The king of Thailand is the only ruling monarch who was born in the United States (Massachusetts). His father was university at MIT at the time. This king became king in 1946. They have done a great deal to help their people improve their quality of life.There are monuments all over the country in their honor! This one is in a roundabout in Udon Thani right by where I get my hair cut. As you can see it is quite imposing!


You will see all sizes and variations of designs along the streets with many companies displaying the monarchs' pictures both inside and outside their businesses......
and across the highways. . .
in cities and in the country all across Thailand.
