Thailand's 81-year-old King Bhumibol hospitalized

Post by PeteC »

BANGKOK – Thailand's 81-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest-serving monarch, has been hospitalized after suffering from a fever and fatigue, the palace announced Sunday.

A statement from the Royal Household Bureau, read on the evening television news, said the king was taken to Siriraj Hospital on Saturday night on the advice of his doctors.
It said the monarch, who was also suffering from a loss of appetite, was being treated with a glucose drip and antibiotics while doctors diagnosed his illness.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told reporters earlier that doctors said the king's health gave no cause for concern. Abhisit was one of a number of prominent people who visited the hospital Sunday to present their wishes for the king's recovery.

(edit)

It had been rumored since late last week that the king had visited the hospital, but the Thai press only reported the matter widely Sunday.

Tables were set up at the hospital for people to convey their best wishes for the king's health on Sunday and Monday.

His Majesty the King has recovered from his fever and is now eating and sleeping well, the Royal Household Bureau says.

His body temperature has returned to normal and the medical team has reduced his intravenous drip and antibiotics intake, the bureau said yesterday in its fourth statement since His Majesty entered hospital.

The King was admitted to Siriraj Hospital on Saturday with a fever, fatigue and loss of appetite.

Meanwhile, senior Phra Sangkhathikarn monks in Bangkok will deliver a prayer on Monday for His Majesty's health, the Office of National Buddhism said.

The prayer and religious rites will be held at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha at the Grand Palace starting at 4pm.

A similar ceremony will be performed at temples across the country.

The events will be televised.

Members of the public are encouraged to take part by praying and wishing the King a speedy recovery.

They could come to the temples or pray at home.

The Office of National Buddhism has also issued an announcement asking temples around the country to hold morning and evening prayers until the King recovers fully.
