17.- Bangkok, King's
poster
There are many
pictures around town of the current king, like this wall
poster. He's King Rama IX, and he's reigned the longest
of any of the Chakri kings, 54 years. He's also a
graduate of Harvard, a composer and a jazz musician
(plays the sax), and he's greatly beloved. You don't hear
Thais refer to him as "the king" but as "my king." [Next »]
