King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and Sheikh Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, Grand Imam of al-Azhar and the supreme Muslim cleric of Egypt, had get-well messages delivered to the hospital yesterday for both His Majesty and Her Royal Highness.

The ambassadors of four Middle Eastern countries - the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, the Sultanate of Oman and Qatar - presented vases of flowers at the hospital on behalf of their kings and leaders. All the diplomats hailed His Majesty as a well-liked monarch who worked hard for his people.

The Foreign Ministry has launched two separate web pages for people all over the world to sign get-well messages for His Majesty and Her Royal Highness. The pop-up web pages have two sets of fixed messages and those signing can simply fill in their names in the box.

Thai ambassadors worldwide are arranging to have Thais living overseas sign get-well messages. Missions are compiling postcards and letters written by Thais and foreigners to be sent to Thailand soon.

Chai Pattana Foundation secretary-general Sumet Tantivejkul said His Majesty had still managed to do a little work during his hospital stay. He said the King discussed preparations for coping with the cold weather with Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.
