His Majesty the King, meanwhile, paid a private visit to the Princess Mother Memorial Park in Bangkok's Khlong San (คลองสาน) District on Friday afternoon, when thousands of people, most of them wearing yellow-shirts, the colour of Monday the day His Majesty the King was born, lined along the route and cheered “Long Live the King”, as His Majesty's motorcade passed by.
