Thailand's King Bhumibol returns to hospital after short palace visit
BANGKOK, Feb 28 (TNA) – Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej returned to Siriraj hospital early Sunday after a brief visit to his home at Chitrlada Palace.
The king left Siriraj Hospital Saturday night for the first time after being admitted for treatment of a lung inflammation on September 19 last year.
Wearing a pink shirt, the monarch sat in a wheelchair with his pet dog at his side on Saturday night. His van arrived at the palace, passing rows of his subjects, sitting along the way, shouting encouragement by voicing “Long Live the King."
The 82-year-old monarch has appeared in the public only twice during his hospital stay, on two special occasions--Chulalongkorn Day on October 23 and in November for the Loy Krathong festival.
The disappearance from the public eye of the world's longest-reigning monarch has caused great concern among the Thai public and was linked to the largest decline in some two months in the Stock Exchange of Thailand in October after rumours circulated among investors of a deterioration in the king's health.
