Our Beloved King Rama 9

“Development of the country must proceed in stages. First of all, there must be a foundation with the majority of the people having enough to live on by using methods and equipment which are economical but technically correct as well. When such a secure foundation is adequately ready and operational, then it can be gradually expanded and developed to raise prosperity and the economic standard to a higher level by stages.” - King Bhumipol Adulyadej, speech given in 1974 at Kasetsart University.

We have been inspired a hundred times over by our beloved king. We owe our existence, and our principles, to his wisdom and kindness. Because of him, we are who we are.
