สำหรับฉบับภาษาไทย ดู Liberal Thai: “พระพลานามัยของกษัตริย์”
Readers will certainly know that the king remains in hospital.
Ostensibly this is for physical rehabilitation. PPT thought readers might like to see the headlines (and some text) from the press, mainly The Nation, as the king’s health was reported each day since this hospitalisation began. PPT knows that it didn’t get every announcement, but the general pattern is clear.

Thai peace is my happiness, says HM
… As the nation stood still for almost one hour to witness and cherish another historic moment of the monarchy and the country, something powerful seemed to be actively at work beneath the stillness. The bonding that may have been taken for granted and the heavily tested sense of who we are, reasserted themselves to make a strong rallying cry for troubled Thailand to stop and think…. “My happiness will occur when our country prospers, is stable and peaceful,” he said in his first public appearance outside Siriraj Hospital in more than two months. The speech was brief, but it seemed to cover everything a father wants to say to his fighting children…. His convoy departed Siriraj Hospital around noon, more than an hour later than the initial schedule.

King is well
The Royal Household Bureau issued its 35th announcement saying HIS MAJESTY THE KING is now well. The bureau said His Majesty is recuperating as he undergoes physical therapy at Siriraj Hospital.
Three weeks later the king remains in hospital. Why is this? Just physical therapy. According to all of these reports, he has been having that since late September. But then again, as the above shows, it is difficult to allocate much authority to palace reports that have been saying he is better, well, and improved since 24 September 2009. What is happening?
