His Royal Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday is December 5th. Each year, Thais celebrate that in a big way, e.g., with boat processions, singing contests, decorative lights on main thoroughfares etc.
For the first time in many many years, access to the Royal Palace Grounds and to Wat Phra Kaew was open during evening hours. Thousands of Bangkokians turned up to enjoy the spectacular sights.
This year, HRM the King turned 84 and thus started a new 7-year cycle.
I took a few snapshots in palace grounds and around Sanam Luang on December 7th. Below is link to my blog from last year.
