HM The King, Royal Palace, Bangkok, Thailand. Otherwise write to your nearest Thai Embassy and ask them for the correct address. They might even send you some info on the King and the Celebrations.

Those events will be spearheaded by the Royal Barge Procession on June 12, and a gala dinner for royal guests and ambassadors the following day.
According to Thailand’s Royal Household, there are 29 countries with reigning monarchs. As of last month, it said royals from 22 countries had accepted invitation to join the royal celebrations, including the Emperor and Empress of Japan, the King and Queen of Sweden, the King of Jordan, the King of Monaco and Prince Andrew of the UK.

Thai Royal guards fire artillery to salute Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej in commemoration of Coronation Day at Sanam Luang park outside of the Royal Palace. The 56th anniversary of his official coronation day occurs in the year the king celebrates the 60th anniversary of his ascension to the throne. He ascended to the throne in June 1946 after the sudden death of his elder brother King Ananda Mahidol. The world's longest reigning monarch's 60th will be celebrated with grand ceremonies from June 9 to 13. Kings and queens from 26 countries, including the Emperor of Japan, will attend the celebrations, the highlight of which will be the Royal Barge Procession of 52 barges and more than 2,000 navy rowers.

I sent the message to the embassy and they very kindly forwarded it to the Palace in Bangkok. Today the Ambassador wrote back to say that my letter had been laid before His Majesty and His Majesty has expressed his appreciation.

People shoul write to their Thai Embassy the reply is really nice.
