King Rama IX reigned from 1950 until His Royal Majesty the King passed away in 2016. During his enthronement, he was a strictly virtuous monarch with the motto, "I shall reign in righteousness for the benefit and happiness of the Siamese people". In addition, His Royal Majesty King also devoted himself to all types of benevolent activities. The sweat from his brow due to His great diligence, was like nectar for the land and for Thai peace of mind. He helped discover, facilitate, and solve problems on behalf of the people. Although His Royal Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej passed away, all his projects continue today and provide benefit to the people. His royal example and words are still guidelines for the Thai people to this day.
