Thailand: King declares ‘love’ for all, calls Thailand ‘land of compromise’

  • His Majesty the King called Thailand the “land of compromise” in unprecedented comments on 1 Nov 20, during which the once-unapproachable monarch declared “love” for all Thais after months of protests calling for reform to the monarchy.
  • On 1 Nov 20, royal devotion was on display as thousands wearing yellow shirts—the royal colour—waited near the Grand Palace clutching portraits of Their Majesties the King and the Queen.
  • Zigzagging through the crowd to greet supporters, the monarch was stopped by a reporter with Britain’s Channel 4 who asked him about protesters calling for reform.
  • “We love them all the same,” he told the reporter repeatedly according to a clip posted on Channel 4’s official Twitter account.
