The Monarchy and the King of Thailand
The Thai national flag symbolizes the strength of the royal family: red for the people, white for the purity of religion and blue for the monarchy. The current King of Thailand, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) is the ninth Thai king from the House of Chakri. H.M. King Bhumibol was born on 5.12.1927 in Massachusetts, USA. The Thai King and the members of the Royal Family are deeply revered by the Thai people. The king’s picture is in every Thai household and office as well as on every coin and banknote. In 1950 Thailand had 2 huge events to celebrate. The king’s marriage with Queen Sirikit and the official coronation. While the King of Thailand has little direct power, under the constitution King Bhumibol is a symbol of national identity and unity; indeed, the Thai King commands enormous popular respect and moral authority. |

Cheow Larn Lake – Khao Sok
Cheow Larn Lake is located inside Khao Sok National Park
which was established in 1980 and
approximately 2 hour's
drive from both Phuket and Khao Lak. The construction of
Rachabrapah Dam in
1982 and the damming of the
Pasaeng River caused the formation of an artificial lake
(165 km2).
This man-made lake is surrounded by mountains of over
1000 meters and dense rainforest with amazing
wildlife, bird
life, flora, waterfalls, wild elephants, otters, monkeys, water
buffalos bears, leopards and
nothing less than the world’s
largest flower (Rafflesia; that reaches over 80 cm in diameter).
Enjoy the scenic view of limestone karst
mountains, swim or paddle a kayak across the lake. Floating raft
houses offer great food and plenty of
space for relaxing and sunbathing.
