His Majesty the King celebrates Loy Krathong festival 
The Nation: 3 Nov 2009
LONG LIVE THE KING
His Majesty celebrates Loy Krathong


Their Majesties the King and Queen last night floated their krathong in the river near Siriraj Hospital.

Many royal members joined Their Majesties in celebrating the Loy Krathong festival.

After Their Majesties floated their krathongs, HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn and his son, HRH Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, HRH Princess Chulabhorn Valayalaksana and HRH Princess Srirasmi, the Royal Consort of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, followed suit.

This was a rare event.

Hundreds of loyal subjects lined Siriraj Hospital's walkways to greet the Royal Family.

Since being admitted to hospital on September 19, His Majesty has appeared in public only twice, the first time on October 23.

Although His Majesty remained in a wheelchair last night, he smiled and waved to his people. After floating his krathong, he viewed a floating procession of decoratively lit boats along the Chao Phya River.

His Majesty also held a camera.

The Royal Household Bureau said His Majesty's health has been improving. More than 20 million people have signed get-well messages for him during his hospitalisation.

Many well-wishers braved Bangkok's notorious traffic to sign the messages at the hospital. Hundreds showed up yesterday, among them high-profile figures like Serb Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic.
