King Bhumibol and HRH princess Sirindhorn as a young teenagerA letter from HM the King to HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn

By krajog The Nation
The [above] text in Thai is a letter HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn received from His Majesty the King dated Oct. 6, 2004. HRH Princess Sirindhorn has granted her permission for the public viewing.
As the content of the letter reflects His Majesty the King’s thought on doing good deeds and the sense of kindness and compassion for other people, I think this essence of the letter is worth a reading to my blog readers. I have translated it for those who are not familiar with the Thai writing as follows.
The following is my translation.
My dear daughter,
In this world, everything has at least two sides. There are darkness and brightness, goodness and evilness. If we can choose what we like, we all would want to have brightness and goodness. But what we want would become real only when we have a method to get it, the brightness or goodness.
The path towards goodness is the love for other people. This is because love for other people can solve every problem. If we want the world to be a place of happiness and peacefulness, the love for other people must be real.
I would like to tell you as follows.
1. Seeing other people as friends in terms of birth, getting old, falling into illness and death, without any exception, no matter who they were in the past, at present or in the future.
2. Seeing the world in an optimistic way but it would be better if you see the world in a realistic perspective, which is the right and appropriate way to solve any problem.
3. Have a sense of Santosa-
…This means having contentment as a basic principle in your mind. Always satisfied with what have come to you without clinging to anything. And always think that having something is good enough while having nothing is not a problem at all. It also means being content with our personal power or ability. Be happy with what we got no matter how small it is.
…Not become the same as an overblown toad, it will bring to us nothing but troubles afterwards.
…Be relatively satisfied with the job you are doing.
…Make a living that suits your status.
4. Having mental stability. This means seeing the negative effects of laziness while realizing the benefits of being persistent. If an undesirable thing happens, pray this mantra:
“Having good fortune and status, happiness and sadness might follow.
It’s the same with praises and criticism. Losing a fortune or status is so natural.
Don’t stay being sad but keep saying “let it be, let it be.”
Your Dad 6/10/2547 (6/Oct/2004)
HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn has made her comment for readers of this HM the King’s letter as follows:
”I hope this teaching of my Dad I have collected would be useful to everyone as well as sons and daughters who are the loved ones of their fathers who have the chance to read this letter.”
I LOVE MY DAD SO VERY MUCH.

letter from king sihanouk to his beloved sons and daughters: kit tae pi choy!!!!
It is good advice as he is also a Buddhism follower, but why he has too much ambition and desire by take over of other property. For instance, he ordered the royal thai army to capture Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple in 1954 and the last year sending royal thai black clads to invade Cambodia's territory and Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple again? Bullshit HM the King.. Only good in words, but worsest in action..! If he respect other people as he advised his daughters, he must now order the thai army to pull out from Cambodian territory immediately..! Then, it will bring peacefulness and happiness to both countries and its people.
Sihanouk's family do nothing for Khmer and Nation all of them like Singing , Dancing, Actress.......in Sihanouk's brain have only PUSSY even his son also like him he is a leader from up to down.Different far from King Bhumibol and his family.
A letter from Sihanouk to his son Sihamoni...stated as such: My dearest son, Sihamoni, the King of Kingdom of Cambodia....Papa wants you to reward 12 more stars to my Grand father, Hun Sen tommorow....otherwise, our royal family will be cleaning his toilet for a living just like your brother, Ranarith.
2:11 has hit the nail so deep that I have to laugh out loud.
"Nouveaux Riches"?
What the sily and crazy KI-media who post such bullshit message from -blood-sucker-tick Thai King!!
What is the real purpose of You Mr. KI-Media? You want all Cambodia are under land-stealing Siem King? why we need to see such Siem king's message? Are you khmer blood? Why you are so proud of Siem King's advise?...
Khmer
To 3:53 Khmer
Please, don't look at the picture whether or not king Bhumibol is good. We just take the content of this message which conveys the love of ourselves and others. The enjoyment of our life naturally. The way that can make our mind peaceful and transparent.
It is advantageous and useful for us my Khmer compatriot.
Please open your mind and look the world in optimistic way.
so meaningful, very touching, thanks for the greatest letter from the Thai king and his daughter...love it! hmm, i don't care whose blood the writers are, look at the meaning, its second to none in this world...very inspiring!
Yes Lee is right don't read that letter as from Thai ( SIAM of course ) king to Princess but please read it as from father to daughter , We know that is SIAM 's royal family matter but KI-MEDIA just want to show of meaning of letter from dad to daughter only :)
PS : I like 2:41PM comment it's true anyway :)
I heard this Thai king and Sihanouk are third cousin..
If this stupid Thai king have this kindness why the hell he didn't tell the Thai military to back off from Khmer's Preah Vihear Temple?????
To 2:41 P.M,
I couldn't agree more!!!!!
Your comment is RIGHT on on money.
Well said my friend.
he also order thai black army to kill combodia every day, thai fucking thai king is a lier.
Thai thief father didn’t tell his Thai daughter of his Tai root and his Tai tonal speaking language from Nanchao where the Mongol rapping and kicking his Tai ass out of Nanchao until the Khmer King helped his Tai root to create a nation at Khmer city of Sukhotei.
The Princess by far is more of The Siant than any of her sibbling. She is the one that should be Queen and not her older brother.
2:11 you're funny
Since then Thai thief father keep changing identity from Tai to Siam and from Siam to Thai and keep stealing the Khmer King property and became rich today.

I agree with the comment by 3:53PM.
KI-Media needs to ask itself on the ramification of posting such article. This letter falsely advertizes Thai royal figures as religious, high moral, kind and respectable people.
They are not! They are one of the most cruel and immoral human being, especially to the defenseless Khmers, Burmeses, Loastians, Hmongs, and Muslims.
May Karma punishes the Thai royal figures for what they did.

10:59PM! behave yourself,How lucky they are not living under Pol Pot!
And with ah Kwack rightnow, you out of your mind, dude!
I agree with you 10:55 and 3:53. The revelation of this letter is totally Thai propaganda. “Jet jia Tevatoat moat jia Tevada”.
They want to cover up recent Thai Government treatment of Lao Hmong.
The world is watching Thai action not word.

10:55 PM
10:55PMand his kind!!!!
it is about IDEAR fool! we are not primary kids or have PhD with no school!
“Jet jia Tevatoat moat jia Tevada”. Talk like angel, act like evil. May Kama punish Thai royal figures, and turn Thai monarchy to anarchy!
Kindness, love all people, Who are you kidding king Phumibol!? You staged 19 coup, over throw each government elected by the people. Is is not power hungry, no one can be more popular or love than the king! if he does, you take him out. No you don't have to do it yourself, you have Privy counsel and general Prem to do it for you, while you only take the good credit.
If you don't want anything, why in the world you are one of the riches monarch in the world?! You have how many Billions in asset?!
If you are so kind, why Thai soldiers are so cruel to Khmer refugees, they machine gun, rape, shelling into refugee camps, and send 45,000 Cambodian refugees into mine field at Phnom Dangrek. Do you call this the act of kindness!!??
So don't be a hypocrit. You can lie to your ignorant children, but you cannot lie to this Khmer that know history and exprience it in life.
Not to mention that he alledgedly took part in the assassination of his elder brother to get the throne.
I think KI-Media should pick out excerpts from our compatriots for our learning nation.... Having it from our own people will do more good than glamorizing Cambodia's aggressor.
Thais king is billionaire.
If he loves Thais he should gives his money to poor Thais.
Instead, he exploit them everyday.
It is just wrong KI-MEDIA to glamorizing Thai king in the name of politics when they are the ones who have repeatedly been trying to damn our progress and stole our nation.
Siem King is the richest king among the monarchy around the world.
He has $35 billion us dollars.
You're all must be kidding ?
By the destiny he'll be also the richest in grave yard of Hell ?
His beloved Son will be the last Chakry Dynasty.Pls wait and see it.
Sound wonderful...I can say it too. And I do indeed, don't just say.
But I heard that this King killed his own eldest brother so that way he is going to become a king...
easy to say
Krung Tep Meha Nokor ours
Copycat majority of KHMER words being used currently.
Kreung Tap Maha Nakhan them
6:39 PM and 6:39 PM,
I am glad you enjoy my comments
Most KB's wealth are probably in real estates around Bangkok. You cann't really do much around the building unless you sell it and sell it to whom? It's on the Thailand's land. So those wealth just sit and accumulate more wealth for? nothing, except to make king look rich and powerful. Yes, King Bhumibol is a well known and admiring king around the world. He is a symbol of love peace compassion and prosperity. That is what majority of the people had picked up. Althought he seems to be good for Thailand only, but people can learn and use it for their own advantage. It didn't have to be translated into English, but KI was brilliant enough to do it. So that many of us can see what Thais people see in him as well. Read read Cambodia! and chase out the ignorant.
The princess is a striking image of her aunt Princess Goliyani Vadhana and also from her father. Awesome daughter.
$35 billions in wealth for King of Thailand. Why not a billion of them go to the poor? May be this is how the monarchy can show the real different between their subjects and themself. They have so much and what for? may be it's just a paper richness.
To 2 to 3 posters like 2;11pm, 2;31pm, 2;41pm, and mee chumkourt Socheata who criticized Khmer monarchy, HM King Sihanouk.
You are so fast to be brainwashed by just reading this official letter from King Pumipon (Bhumibol) to his daughter. King Pumipon did the same and worse than any King on earth today. King Pumipon wrote many songs and played musical instruments and had affairs, absolute ruler, robbed the nation to build his empire estimated about 35 billion dollars.
His only one son has been a playboy threatening Thai culture and society. His son of bitch son is not just a playboy buy a killer; he forced his 3rd wife to be naked at the pool party, the whole world saw via youtube.
Thailand is run by the nasty woman named Sirikit and military junta with no mercy toward the poor. This letter is just another scheme to make her husband popular, but the man has no mind on his own; his wife does everyhing. Sirikit is a killer.
Who are you to belittle Khmer monarchy without searching the facts? Princess Bossba is a youngest sister of his nasty wife named Sirikit and has one daughter and that daughter King Pumipon has with Bossba was arraged to marry his playboy son. This couple shared the same father (King Pumipon) but difference mothers, and their mothers are sisters, for gawd sake.
Just because Thai laws do not allow anyone to write or post any bad things about Chakry family, does not mean King Pumipon (Bhumibul) has good records. How often he and his amey ah thorng are partying, fucking in a Yatch they owned?
Stupid people like you shouldn't be born in Cambodia, you should be in Thailand so you can be crawling and be beating up and be throwning in jail for 15-25 years.
King Sihanouk is a politician and is poor, whatever he does enjoy life as part of human beings, but his mind is always alert for his poor and weak country how he can save whereas Pumipon is living life style above everyone on earth left million of poor people especially Khmer Surin, Khmer Buriram live under poverty.
What a bunch of c-bye boak chhnang, you idiots are.
Sirikti's father was a most powerful man in Thaialnd back then; he may had killed King Mahidol and made Bhumibul a King, so his daugher became Queen.
Sirikit's first child was a girl named Ubol Ratana, then Bhumibul threated Sirikit "If you don't give me a son, I will marry your sister Bossba". Sirikit's fate to be Queen so she produced a son (2nd child) for him.
Most Thai people who live in the Capital knew eevry night King Bhumibul drove his car to sleep with Bossba. He loved her, because she was very prettier than Sirikit.
When Sirikit gave birth to a boy, she found a favor of the King, then she sent her sister Bossba to an exile and forced her marry a Thai ambassador, and aranged her sister's daughter to marry her son.
Her son ddidn't love his 1st wife (his half sister) he chose a Thai movie star and had 5 kids; but Sirikit drove her son's 2nd wife and her 5 kids out of Thailand.
Since Sirikit had a son, the whole Thai Kingdom is under Sirikit rules and reigns behind her husband. She rules and reigns with the military dictators. She is the mighty in Thailand, everyone's life can be taken away is she wants to. Sirikit is the world richest Queen and the not pretty Queen; somehow her plastic surgery helped her to look good after she had 4 children.
Know why the RED shits hate her so much? Go figure out.
King Bhumibol is not like what you said 3:27am nor did anything came out of nasty mouth bunch of jokers for King Sihanouk. Good griff! You're all hard core for nothing. Get a life! go fool the nonsense.
Correction: I wanted to say "Sirikti's father was a most powerful woman "
3:48 AM,
The truth hurts, isn't?
China wants Thailand for Communist and for Thaksin fool.
As a reader, this posting posted by Socheata reminds me of other blogs who wrote "Cambodians are mostly thugs. They kill each others then embrace others, doesn't matter they are educated people or not, they are just born thugs."
Comparing the world richest King (35 Billion of USD) who rules and reigns over a country with his Laws Majesty, the country that has too many people who live under the poverty to a poor King who has been struggled to free his country that controlled by others for about 500 years is called a great divider by who if not by the Cambodian thugs themselves? Imagine of King Sihanouk has just one third of King Bhumibol's money, Cambodian people may be no longer poor.
Hi my post is@ 4:09am.
I meant "Lese Majesty Laws" not "Laws Majesty". Sorry.
Oh man! who wrote this letter for King Bhumibol to his daughter as to show everybody how good King Bhumibol is forgot that people this day is not stupid.
If King Bhumibol has so much love for Thai people, he should have not kept his 35 Billion of US dollars and all his family members already transferred their billion USD at the foreign banks. He should have donated even just a little like 2 billion dollars to help poor Thai people, so they didn't have to sell their children to be whores. And he should know before he dies that his wife is powerful, a killer and richer than Imelda Marcos. His oldest daughter Ubolratana now is a whore, just look@ her almost topless and sitting on her goldenchair while Thai people are crawling to her feet.
This kind of satire sucks big time.
This post shows that KI serves the interest of Thailand, to divide Khmers apart. Oh man we don't know Socheata (KI's member) loves to smell Thai royal's shit.
Does anyone has any idea how old is Ubolratana? Man, she is almost 60. A thirty five year old can just move over. How she preserves herself to be so young is something every woman in the world must think and put her as an example. HRH's secret must be in the book selling to the world and use it to benifit the poor and the unfortunate. That is royalty and you're also not royal pretty for nothing.
Ubolratana is 59 years old and she will be 60 in April 2010. She has many plastic surgery, and her face injected with a high quality Botox. Her physical trainers are serving her to make sure she cannot gain weight.
Ubolratana loves partying and dancing and she loves to have people crawling around to her feets. King Bhumibol has 4 children, 1 son and 3 daughters; but only Princess Sirindhorn is a good daughter, while the 2 daughters, the oldest Ubolratana and the youngest named Chulabhorn are bad and bad girls. His only 1 son is a monster plaboy.
King Bhumibol and his wife Queen Sirikit owned the country and he even has a Yatch. Queen Sirikit owned most precius jewlery in the world than Queen Elizabeth II.
All priceless items and money are already transferred into foreign banks. Also King Bhumibol and his wife owned many chateaux (mensions) in many countries.
Thanks 7:32am
