BANGKOK, 30 December 2014 (NNT)
His Majesty the King yesterday left Siriraj Hospital for a private visit to a royal grocery in a nearby building and had a change of scenery by the Chao Phraya.
His Majesty the King left Chalerm Prakiat Building, Siriraj Hospital, on Monday afternoon at 4.19 p.m. to visit a Golden Place outlet on the ground floor of the nearby Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital. The monarch appeared before the public with a happy face, sitting on a wheelchair and passing well-wishers who lined the way at Siriraj to catch a glimpse of him. They all chanted “Long Live the King” as he passed.
Golden Place is a retailing chain operated by Suvarnachad Company under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King. At the shop, His Majesty observed its operation and bought some milk, ice cream and fruits which were products of the royal Suan Chitralada Farm.
His Majesty later visited the Thailand Institute of Applied Medicine on the 7th floor of Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital, where he spent some time drinking tea and looking at scenic view of the Chao Phraya River before returning to Siriraj Hospital at 5 p.m.
