Three volume set. 100; 171; 171 pp. His Majesty King Bhumibol has been King for more than sixty years now. All Thai people know that he has done so much for the country. In this book we see the King when he was a young prince. We see his inquisitive and determined nature. We learn about his hobbies and interests. Then we look at His Majesty the King and the many wonderful things he has done. And perhaps we can still see the boy prince who grew up to be such a wise and beloved king. To the Thai people, Their Majesties are their beloved Royal Father and Mother. To foreigners, Their Majesties are known as the worlds' hardest-working King and Queen. This book is about the tireless perseverance of King Bhumibol. Much of his work is dedicated to the physical and spiritual welfare of the poorest and most needy of his subjects. But His Majesty's compassion and ingenuity benefit all Thais. The facts and achievements of the reign of Thailand's King Bhumibol are well known. This book explores the continually developing wisdom underpinning these remarkable achievements. All Thai kings have repeated the ancient Oath of Accession: “We shall reign with righteousness for the benefit and happiness of the Siamese (Thai) people”.
