His Majesty lauds Thais for helping each other overcome crises
In a televised speech on New Year’s Eve, His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn wished his subjects a year of happiness and prosperity in mind and body.
The speech was broadcast live from Dusit Palace in Bangkok on Saturday evening.
His Majesty said that Thai people had the resilience to overcome crises and were kind enough to help each other in alleviating suffering.
Thai people’s natural kindness is key to helping Thailand develop sustainably, the King added.
“May the Triple Gems and all powers that exist in the world, including His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, protect everyone from suffering and help them achieve the success they desire next year,” the King said.
His Majesty was referring to the Triple Gems of Buddhism, namely the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
Their Majesties the King and Queen also issued a card greeting Thais a Happy New Year.
The front of the card sported the Chakri dynasty and the King and Queen’s royal emblems, and Their Majesties’ photo inside with the message “New Year's blessing BE 2566”.
