Bhumibol Adulyadej

My philosophy has been to take things day by day. When I talk about this philosophy, it makes people perhaps a little surprised. ”

I am concerned because even in the past two years that were the jubilee years, I have seen evident signs which show that the people are still in great difficulties, and there are things that still need to be remedied and looked after in many areas. ”

Support each other as is needed to achieve goals for the benefit of the people and the nation's security. ”

Western people ask me whether it is a paradox that I am King but support democracy. I have to tell them that in Thailand, the King is the guarantor of democracy. ”

Having an election with only one candidate running is impossible. This is not a democracy. ”

Bangkok is a toilet without a flush. ”

Our country will be stabilized, with all key establishments in society working in unity with full awareness among Thais of their duties and responsibilities. ”

The attainment of the present status of Thailand has to depend on the ability or the actions of all the inhabitants of the country. ”

I have been extremely touched by these signs of affection on the part of all the Thai people. ”
