In the clip, US Ambassador to Thailand Glyn Davies reviewed the King’s relationship and connection with the United States. “We remember, crowds of people in New York City who gathered to hail the King and Queen of Thailand at the huge ticker tape parade,” Davies said. As His Majesty eloquently stated to the United States Congress, friendship of one government for another is an important thing. But it is friendship of one people for another that assuredly guarantees peace and progress.”Davies ended the video, saying, “We, at the United States Embassy in Thailand, remember and will always remember the great King Bhumibol Adulyadej. We will remember him in our hearts, and how fortunate we all were to have learned from this remarkable King.”
