Thailand was built on compassion.

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

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

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.

Western people ask me whether it is a paradox that I am King but support democracy. I have to tell them that in Thailand, the King is the guarantor of democracy.

If Thai citizens still hold this harmony in their hearts, there is hope that in whatever the situation, Thailand will surely get through it safely and with stability.
