There also is the plight that comes from natural disasters; these natural disasters could be alleviated or dealt with; we only need some time to do it.

I have been extremely touched by these signs of affection on the part of all the Thai people.

I am concerned because even in the past two years that were the jubilee years, I have seen evident signs which show that the people are still in great difficulties, and there are things that still need to be remedied and looked after in many areas.

Therefore, I think that in the celebration of the 50 years of the present reign, there must be research on the changes that the country has undergone, and in the future, it could be used as a lesson for our future actions.

It is true, there are many bad people; there are more of them than in the past, but that is because there are more people, meaning the population has tripled; there must be three times more bad people.

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.
