This year the king of Thailand celebrated his 60th year of being king of Thailand. This makes him the longest reigning monarch in the world. Unlike the English monarchy, the king of Thailand is loved, honored and respected by all. Although he has no legal powers, he has tremendous influence and many major political decisions made by are run by the king first. This coming December 5th, the king will be celebrating his 80th birthday as well. There are big plans for a huge celebration in his honor on that day. Unfortunately, the king's health hasn't been the greatest in recent months and he has been in the hospital for the past several days. Please pray for him.On December 23rd, Thailand will be going to the polls to elect a new prime minister. It has taken more than a year for the interm military government to finally set a date for the election. Please pray that God's man would be elected into power.
