The King of Thailand is the longest serving monarch in
the world. People genuinely revere him, and anyone can be imprisoned
for making disparaging remarks about the king, his family or the monarchy in general. On Dec 5, 2013, he celebrated his 86th birthday.
This was a huge celebration in Hua Hin since he is now living here permanently. The town was festooned with more pictures and banners than usual. A large event was held at the palace on the day, the road was blocked, the military paraded, dignitaries spoke, and the king himself addressed the crowd.

Like all businesses the Hilton Hotel had a display to honour the king and his birthday. Gold or yellow are the colours used to honour the king. As you can see in the display below even the flowers are gold and yellow.
