Bhumibol Adulyadej

Some say that now that 50 years have passed, we would like another 50 more years to celebrate once again; that means it will be 100 years. After one hundred years, I will be 118 years old.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

The attainment of the present status of Thailand has to depend on the ability or the actions of all the inhabitants of the country.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

It could be argued that, in Thailand, many foreigners have come and gone, and the number of people who are considered to be Thai have traveled abroad in a great number.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

Many other countries in this world are in a difficult situation, and all the Thai people are probably worried about the fate of Thailand: whether the country would survive or not.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

Therefore, I think that in the celebration of the 50 years of the present reign, there must be research on the changes that the country has undergone, and in the future, it could be used as a lesson for our future actions.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society; other persons will also be good.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

Everyone must correct his own self; this is something more difficult to cope with, but it is not impossible.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent. Those who are not good are evil.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

I have been extremely touched by these signs of affection on the part of all the Thai people.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

Nature is something outside our body, but the mind is within us.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

Since that time up until the present time, there have been progress, and changes all through the time. The changes have not come by themselves; these changes have come from the doings of everyone in the country.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

There also is the plight that comes from natural disasters; these natural disasters could be alleviated or dealt with; we only need some time to do it.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

In Thailand’s history there have been dissensions from time to time, but in general, unity has prevailed.
