The King of Thailand is currently being hospitalized in Bangkok today. The 81 year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej was admitted on Saturday night to Siriraj Hospital, after suffering from fever, fatigue and loss of appetite.
It is being reported that the monarch – the world’s longest serving – is being treated with antibiotics and glucose drip. Doctors are trying to diagnose his illness.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told the country King Bhumibol’s condition is not of concern.
In the past, the King has suffered a minor stroke, bronchitis and stomach inflammation.
Tables were set up at the hospital for citizens to wish their beloved King well.
King Bhumibol is highly revered in Thailand, and there are concerns that when he passes, the monarchy would be in trouble. This is because the King’s son, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn, is not as politically savvy as his father.
