Description The king is a revered figure in Thailand, found on currency, posters, and calenders such as this. The photograph was taken in Pattani, a city in Thailand's deep south that has been troubled by violence the last several years. The king's name is Bhumibol Adulyadej. He was born in the U.S (Cambridge, MA) in 1927 and educated primarily in Switzerland.
