the highly revered Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej is celebrating his 82nd birthday today (just two days after my birthday!). he’s the world’s longest reigning monarch, being king for over 63 years. people here LOVE him. his birthday’s a national holiday, so lots of places are closed today and there’s a ton of parties being held in his honor.

long live the king!
