the same New Year’s wish - to be happy and to progress in life.
Thailand’s revered and beloved King Bhumibol
Adulyadej the Great told his subjects that everyone shares the same New
Year’s wish - to be happy and to progress in life.
His Majesty the King appeared on nationwide
television last week to present his annual New Year message. HM the King
emphasized love, compassion and kindness for each other, and said, “We
all wish for the country to be peaceful.”
“I hope very much to see people achieve happiness in
the New Year through giving,” he said, and that “People also should
forgive and come to the aid of each other in their hour of need. People
should treat each other with good faith and sincere and honest
intentions.
“This is so that everyone can come together and, as a collective
force, figure out how to create happiness, prosperity and security for
themselves and the nation,” His Majesty said. “It is a goal everyone
wishes to achieve.”
