The reduced effect of the infection was verified after a blood test and His Majesty's general condition was good, the statement said, quoting the Committee of Royal Physicians.

King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden sent a personal message yesterday to His Majesty, blessing him and wishing for his speedy recovery, Swedish Ambassador to Thailand Lennert Linner said. The ambassador wrote the message from the Swedish monarchs - who travelled to Thailand to join the celebration of His Majesty's 60 years on the throne last year - at Siriraj Hospital, where His Majesty is receiving treatment.

Romanian Ambassador Radu Gabriel Mateescu, former South Korea prime minister Goh Kun and Shigeru Mochida, a deputy executive-secretary of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN Escap) were among those that signed good wishes for the King yesterday.

The Phachochaban Foundation, which helps injured elephants, brought nine jumbos to the hospital to conduct a ceremony and pay homage to His Majesty.

The group also presented a piece of writing that says "Love Nai Luang", which they said was created by Phang Kamlai Thong, a female elephant.
