Free meals distributed to mark birthday of King Rama IX
Several merchants at Municipal Market 1 in Phitsanulok province handed out free meals for people to mark the birthday of the late King Rama IX on Saturday.
This activity has been done every year to make merit for the late King and reduce people's cost of living.
Tee Wirotewanich, a 79-year-old merchant, offered meals, such as basil fried rice, omelette rice and bakeries to people in the market.
Meanwhile, another merchant's 100 pieces of Khao Tom Mud (steamed sticky rice with banana) were snapped up in no time.
