Tomorrow (December 5) will be a holiday in honor of the King's 80th birthday. To say King Rama IX is loved is an understatement for the reverence, respect, and admiration Thai people have for the world's longest-serving head of state (60+ years). This morning the celebrations began at school with a ceremonial offering of food to the monks in the morning. Then everyone gathered in the assembly hall for chanting, praying for the King, performances, and handing out awards.
