BANGKOK, August 1 (TNA) - People from all walks of life on Thursday evening gathered at Bangkok’s Siriraj Hospital, while tens of thousands of well-wishers shouted “Long Live Their Majesties the King and Queen” along Phetkasem Road when they were awaiting to have a glimpse at their beloved monarchs who have left the hospital and headed for the Klaikangwon Palace in seaside Hua Hin district of Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the Upper Thai South. Their Majesties the King and Queen left the hospital at 4pm to depart for the summer palace in Hua Hin for recuperation. Prachuap Khiri Khan Governor Veera Sriwattanatrakul told journalists that local officials have beautified the scenery, including decorating the middle of Phetkasem Road from Hua Hin Airport to the Klaikangwon Palace with national and the Royal flags. Local officials facilitated the tens of thousands of well-wishers, who turned up at the resort district to wish Their Majesties to “get well soon”. Dr. Udom Kachintorn, Dean of Siriraj Hospital’s Faculty of Medicine, reported that conditions of Their Majesties King and Queen have improved noticeably and they were, thus, allowed to stay at the Klaikangwon Palace for recuperation and for pleasure. According to the dean, a team of doctors and nurses are accompanying Their Majesties the King and Queen to the royal palace, where necessary medical equipment have already been installed, so have a nearby Hua Hin Hospital.
