Holiday’s Around the World

King’s Birthday in ThailandIf you were to go to Thailand on December 5th, you would see a huge celebration where all citizens hold ritual rites and decorate their buildings with flags, lights, and portraits of the nation’s king. The day is the monarch’s birthday, which later was declared as a national holiday, and the Thai people love their king like no other people in the world. Having reigned for close to 60 years, he serves as the longest serving king ever, a symbol of the nation’s “heart and soul.” He will turn 78 this year.
