Thousands flock to Siriraj Hospital as their Majesties return to Klai Kangwon Palace

BANGKOK, 10 May 2015 (NNT) – Thousands of Thai people flock to Siriraj Hospital to greet Their Majesties the King and Queen, who are scheduled to return to Klai Kangwon Palace this afternoon.

Huge numbers of well-wishers seem oblivious to the blazing sun, scrambling for a close look of their highly-revered monarch, waving flags carrying the emblem of His Majesty the King as a gesture of love for the royal family. Many of them have camped at the hospital since yesterday to secure the best view of Their Majesties.

Their Majesties the King and Queen have been in Siriraj Hospital since late last year for thorough medical checkups. Doctors are of the opinion that it is time Their Majesties returned to their favorite Klai Kangwon Palace in Hua Hin, where the atmosphere is conducive to relaxation and recuperation.

Well-wishers in other areas are expected to show up in great numbers along the route to welcome Their Majesties back home to the palace.
