The Thai people's reverance for the monarchy is unique. This has come about, particularly during the present Chakri Dynasty, through the devotion of the Royal Family to helping and guiding their subjects. The people return this devotion with sincere love, so seldom seen elsewhere in the world.

    The year 2006 is one of regal significance for all Thais, as we commemorate the Sixtieth Anniversary Celebration of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Accession to the Throne. To honour our beloved King, we have arranged a year-long Grand Festival of Events nationwide to share our colourful culture with all of our visitors.

Come and experience all the grandeur of the realm as we showcase the pageantry, glorious tradition and culture in our many Grand Destination. Bangkok, the fabled land of ancient city, gilded palaces and temples with be the heart of the celebrations and the whole metropolis will be lit up. An illuminated night in Bangkok is a night to fondly remember. Read More
