Red Shirt People to Make Birthday Wishes For His Majesty
| An estimated 1,800 Red Shirt demonstrators from Udorntani are coming to Bangkok to wish His Majesty the King an 84th happy birthday on Monday.
The Red Shirt activists, led by Kwanchai Praipana, are riding in tour buses from the northeastern province to the capital's Sanam Luang ground where they will join other Thais in the making of their best wishes for the monarch.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra will lead members of the public at Sanam Luang during the government-organized rituals to make their best wishes on His Majesty's 84th birthday in the evening of Monday.
The Red Shirt activists will proceed to Siriraj Hospital where His Majesty is staying to repeat their wishes the next day.
Kwanchai said all of his followers, who had been supportive to former premier Thaksin Shinawatra and a ruling Puea Thai Party, were attending the auspicious, annual phenomenon entirely on voluntary basis.
Meanwhile, Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom also sent a well-wishing note on His Majesty the King of Thailand's 84th birthday and expressed sympathies for the Thai people affected by flooding in the provinces and Bangkok's suburbs since the last few months.
