Wasn’t that a dainty dish that Kiin Kiin set before the king

Thai Embassy celebrate 87th birthday of their monarch

Thai ambassador Vimon Kidchob was the proud host of a reception to mark the 87th birthday of her monarch, Rama IX, at Bygingskulturens Hus in Copenhagen on December 5. 

It was a well-attended event as members of the diplomatic corps and other esteemed guests mingled, listened to jazz pianist Darin Pantoomkomol, and feasted on food provided by Nørrebro restaurant Kiin Kiin, one of only a handful of Thai eateries worldwide to earn a Michelin star. 

Thanks to his 68 years on the throne, Rama IX is currently the world’s longest reigning monarch, easily ahead of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth (by six years) despite being one and a half years her junior. 

However, he will have to live into his next century to surpass Sobhuza II, who reigned as king of Swaziland for nearly 83 years. But if he does, what a party that will be!
