The Permsub household was all abuzz on November 27 as
people from all walks of life attended religious ceremonies to mark the
birthday of one of the most respected personalities in Pattaya.
As has become an annual tradition, General Kanit Permsub,
Deputy Chief Aide-de-Camp, General to H.M. the King, and the general’s wife
Khunying Busyarat opened up their home and hearts to family and friends for
a day of prayer and contemplation on the anniversary of General Kanit’s
birth which falls on November 26.
The religious ceremony was conducted by chief abbot Phra
Khru Visuthipiyakorn together with eight monks from Wat Boon Samphan temple.
General Kanit and Khunying Busyarat graciously welcomed
each and every one of their guests and ensured that they were comfortable
and felt at home during the day of celebration.
General Kanit is held in high esteem by those who know
him for his unbounded love and loyalty to His Majesty the King and his
devotion to the Royal Family. He affectionately speaks of the love and
benevolence of our King for the people of Thailand. “His Majesty has never
stopped working for His people throughout the more than 60 years of His
reign.”
“His Majesty is deeply concerned about His subjects and
keeps a close watch on the developments of His country and people, ever
ready to give advice to help implement plans and solutions to improve the
quality of life of the people and the environment of His beloved country.”
Gen Kanit stresses that, “His Majesty cares and loves
everyone, Thais and foreigners alike, pledging to protect those who have
come to live in this country under His umbrella of Righteous and Benevolent
rule.”
Guests were treated to a sumptuous luncheon of Thai
cuisine in the beautifully landscaped garden of the Permsub residence.
The same evening a small group of guests attended an
evening of relaxation where many of them took turns showing off their talent
at singing karaoke songs including the traditional ‘Happy Birthday.’
