999 TRT cadres to ordain
Some 999 Thai Rak Thai Party members will enter the monkhood in honour of His Majesty the King next month, party spokesman Sita Divari said yesterday.
The ordination ceremony for party members would take place at 9am on July 22, Sita said. All up about 6,000 Thai Rak Thai members would enter the monkhood by December 5, the King's birthday, he said. Members of the party's executive board plan to mark Thai Rak Thai's eighth anniversary on July 14 by donating blood. TRT celebrations will begin this weekend. Party leader Thaksin Shinawatra will release balloons and lead members of the media through an exhibition on the first floor of the party's office, at 9.09am on Sunday.
