King's birthday greeting
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej will greet his subjects from a Royal Plaza balcony at 10.30am on December 5 as part of grand celebrations hosted by the government for his 80th birthday.
PM's Office deputy permanent secretary Jadul Apichartbutr, who chaired the sub-committee to arrange the public audience ceremony, said yesterday the sub-committee had proposed two venue options - the balcony of the Chakri Mahaprasat Throne Hall and one at the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall - for His Majesty's consideration, he said. Prior to the public audience, a religious rite would be held at 9am to parade holy water from the Ubosot at Wat Benjamabopit Dusitwanaram to either the Chakri Mahaprasat Throne Hall or the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall in accordance with His Majesty's wishes. The sub-committee would study problems that arose during Their Majesties the King and Queen's public audience during the occasion of His Majesty's 60th Anniversary Accession to the Throne, so as to improve the December 5 public audience, Jadul said.
