We had a Visit Yesterday from Khun Ruchuchai who is the Head of the Labour Department Chiang Mai and is also responsible for all Work Permits issued to Foreigners amongst other things!
We have known Him since We first came here to Chiang Mai all those Years ago so he has been here at the X-Centre on a number of times. This Visit was to promote an Up coming event :
HRH King Bhumibol Adulyadej ภูมิพลอดุลยเดช, Rama IX for his 84th Birthday (which is December 5th).
Khun Ruchuchai would like as many Foreigners to join in with the ceremony and Celebrations as possible, Here is an Explanation of the event and followed by Location and Time schedule:
Dear Chiang Mai Friends and Other Foreign Residents of Chiang Mai,
Encoding the Sequence of the program.
I am writing on behalf of a members of the Assembly of People of All Nations Who Love the King in Chiang Mai together with the Assembly of People of All Nations Who Love the King in Thailand are happy to invite you, your family and friends to join in the celebration of the King’s birthday of 2011. This is our first time to join together as a city and a nation. It will be on Saturday, the 3rd of December 2011. The celebration will be called “International, We Love Our King”.
There will be many events that day, but Chiang Mai Friends and other foreign residents are particularly invited to join in a parade that will start at Thapae Gate at 3:30 pm that day. Chiang Mai Friends will have a sign in section in the parade which you represent your countries. We will walk with thousands of our Thai friends and neighbors and even some elephants from Thapae Gate to JJ Market. Please plan to join us for all or some of this expression of respect and appreciation for King Bhumibol Adulyadej ภูมิพลอดุลยเดช, Rama IX for his 84th Birthday (which is December 5th).
For those of you who decide to join us, you may wish to bring a small Thai flag to carry with you as you walk (some flags may be available at the parade site), or you may wear a national costume from your country, or you may purchase an 84th birthday commemorative shirt, or you may want to just wear a pink shirt, a color used to show love and respect for the King.
I truly hope many of you will decide to join our parade starting on Saturday, December 3rd at 3:30 pm at Thapae Gate. This is the Chiang Mai community’s expression of love and respect for the King, thanking him for 65 years of tireless work to make Thailand the country we all love today. As a foreign resident of Thailand and as a friend and neighbor in our Chiang Mai community you will be most welcome! Please plan to join us!
