Dutch nationals in Thailand celebrate accession of new King

BANGKOK, May 1 (TNA) - The Dutch Embassy in Bangkok has held a celebration to mark the accession of Crown Prince Willem-Alexander to the throne. April 30 marked the abdication of Queen Beatrix and a new era for the Netherlands after being reigned by queen for over a century. In Bangkok, Dutch Ambassador to Thailand Joan A. Boer told the press that the new king had a big task up ahead. He added that the king was a trained expert on water management, and had much to offer Thailand on flood prevention. Thailand and the Netherlands have enjoyed over four centuries of excellent relations and their ties have deepened particularly during the Thai flood crisis in late 2011. (TNA)
