We have a saying in Ireland, “To be born a gentleman is an accident, to die a gentleman is an achievement!”

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej became King at the age of 18, he is now 72… His subjects love him! He is a positive influence on his country.

My money is on “he will die a gentleman”

Have a Happy…
