On the 5th December, the Kingdom of Thailand celebrates the Birthday of His Majesty the King, who, this year, is 81 years of age.

On this day around Thailand celebrations take place, ranging from official government ceremonies to small family gatherings. The 5th December is also known as “Fathers Day” and is a time to pay your respects to your Father.

On Friday Morning in the grounds of Banglamung City Hall, we attended the formal ceremony for the District led by Khun Mongkol, the Chief of Banglamung District. Offerings were made to 81 Buddhist Monks from around the District and this was followed by a formal ceremony involving 9 Monks which culminated in a Gun Salute from Banglamung Police who fired a total of 21 times into the air.

Local Government Officers and Police Officers from around the District also took part in the event which paid homage to His Majesty the King on this special day.

Further celebrations to mark the 81st Birthday of His Majesty the King.

Following on from our report on yesterday’s show on the local celebrations for His Majesty the King’s 81st Birthday, we now conclude our coverage of this auspicious day.

In the evening a parade took place along Pattaya Beach Road and finished-up at the Bali Hai Port via Walking Street. Every Police and volunteer division along with government workers and members of the public also took part in the parade.

At the Port a stage had been erected featuring a 6 foot high portrait of His Majesty. Khun Itipon, the Mayor of Pattaya led many hundreds in paying Homage to His Majesty and wishing him a very Happy Birthday.

A candlelight ceremony featuring a recital of the National Anthem and other songs praising the King took place as Thai’s and foreigners came together to celebrate this auspicious day.

A fireworks display signified the end of the celebration and also ends our look into this special day in the Thai Calendar.
