King declares 'love' for all, calls Thailand 'land of compromise'Their Majesties the King and the Queen are greeted by a yellow-shirt crowd outside the Grand Palace who turned out to show their respect and love for the monarchy on Sunday. (Photo by Wichan Charoenkiatpakul)His Majesty the King called Thailand the "land of compromise" in unprecedented comments on Sunday, during which the once-unapproachable monarch declared "love" for all Thais after months of protests calling for reform to the monarchy. When asked if there is room for compromise, he said: "Thailand is the land of compromise." As His Majesty moved through the crowd, royalists chanted, "We will live loyally, die faithfully" and "Long live the King!" His Majesty has been in Thailand in recent weeks to mark a Buddhist holiday and the anniversary of HM King Bhumibol's passing.
