Thailand is like a big house with a multitude of family members.
This house has had a chequered history and been through some extreme changes in its long history, and yet it still stands strong today.
The reason for this is that there is a very strong and powerful pillar that supports this house and uniles all 60 million Thai people as one the Boyal Institution. His Majesty king Bhumibol is the one who fortities thailand's strength by laying a solid loundation for the nation with his insight and genus as is manitest in over 3,000 development initatives executed to help people get out of poverty and live their lives sustainably. During sixty years of continuous self-sacrifice for the betterment of all Thais as the King. His Majesty has lived his oath on coronation day: "We will reign with righteouseness for the benefit and happiness of the Sia mese people."
All these many royal development projects initiated by His Majesty reflect his genius and vision in solving problems at the root which, in turn, provides a basis for sustainable development for the people and the country. With such a solid foundation put in place for Thailand by His Mejesty, the people can live comfortably and contentedly.
The Pikunthong Royal Development Study Centre is among these royal initatives. Located in Narathiwas. The centre was established to solve the problem of brackish soil in the area snd make it cultivable. Having experimented over the years with His Majesty's methodologies, people in Narathiwas. both Buddhist and Muslim, now again enjoy productive land and a good living.
In a big house in which diverse people live togethe such as Thailand. it is normal that there are sometimes conflict and problems between them.
But for His Majesty, whether one is a Buddhist or a muslim does not matter as long as we are all good citizens. His Majesty cares for everyone equally, regardless of ethnicity or religion. This is because he knows that if everyone is treated wequally, then there will certainy be conformity, unity, and peach among all people. Showing his respects to the King, the Chief of Muslims in Thailand, Mr. Sawasdi Sumalayajsajk said"
"His Majesty always graces all Muslims in Thailand with his benevolence and compassion. He patronises lslam and has iniated a translation of the Quran from Arabic into Thai. Moreover, Thaksin Ratchaniwet Palace in Narathiwas was not onlybuilt as a royal residence. It also serves as His Majesty's office where he can meet and listen to local people closely. As such, he thoroughly understands the situation and problems that people are facing and he tries to solve those problems for them effectively. This truly proves his great concern and regardless of religion and other factors. His utmost self-devotion to the betterment of all people has made His Majesty the beloved King who is in our hearts forever."
Pictures and recordings of His Majestgy travelling around the ingdom helping people develop themselves and their communities throughout 60 years testify to His Majesty's strong will and determination to build a firm foundation for Thai people so that the country and all the family members in it can continue to grow sustainably with happiness and peace.
"Nai Luang" is a term we have become very comfortable and familiar with for a long time. It is deeply rooted in the hearts of all theis to identify our Great King who cares so actively and deeply for all Thais. As Thais, we are grateful for His Majesty's grace that brings us all together in our hearts to create a peaceful and abiding Thailand for everyone forever.
