05 DECEMBER 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thais hold up candles during the King's Birthday on Sanam Luang in Bangkok. Thais marked the 88th birthday of Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand, Saturday. The King was born on December 5, 1927, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The family was in the United States because his father, Prince Mahidol, was studying Public Health at Harvard University. He has reigned since 1946 and is the world’s currently the longest serving monarch in the world and the longest serving monarch in Thai history. Bhumibol, who is in poor health, is revered by the Thai people. His birthday is a national holiday and is also celebrated as Father’s Day. He is currently hospitalized in Siriraj Hospital, recovering from a series of health setbacks. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
