His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej - the King of Thailand. He's currently (and has been for some time) the longest reigning monarch in the world, having been on the throne of Thailand since 1946. They love him here - his picture, along with that of HM Queen Sirikit, seems to be in every home and shop within the Kingdom of Thailand. On Monday, it's his 78th birthday, so I don't have to work, which is nice. Much like the Queen's birthday is celebrated as Mother's Day here, so is the King's celebrated as Father's Day. So, love ya pops!
