56 years Bhumibol Adulyadej is up to now reigning. There is no monarch living who reigned for a longer period. And his popularity does not wane. Not for the extraordinary length of his reign allone, but also because of his integrity and his great engagement in cultural and social fields of his country. While the buddhist clergy, the military and the political class especially nowadays see themselves forced to change, the king stands for the unity of the country and for continuity and stability.
