H.M. King Bhumibol Rama IX Birthday

It was the His Majesty the King's 79th Birthday today, and a Thai national holiday. This year is also his 60th year as King (he is the worlds longest serving monarch) and there are celebrations all year. I spent most of the day wearing my yellow shirt and preparing lectures. But I did get to see most of the celebrations on TV.
