Revelry For A King Photos
Thais wearing yellow to show their devotion gather in predawn ceremonies in Bangkok on Dec. 5, 2006, to honor King Bhumibol Adulyadej on his 79th birthday. Although the king is a constitutional monarch with limited political powers, he has used his prestige to smooth over political crises throughout the years, persuading opposing parties to compromise for the sake of peace and stability.
