His Majesty The King is free of fever but will need a lot of rest to recover completly.

"His Majesty The King's general condition is good," said a statement from the Bureau of the Royal Household after markets had closed. "However, a further period of recovery of lung pneumonia is necessary, as in the case of the elderly."

King Bhumibol, 81, has been in hospital since September 19, making this his longest period of treatment since suffering a blood clot in 2007.

The statement said he would stay in hospital for "continuous rehabilitation therapies," the first suggestion he could remain in hospital for some time.

Over the past few weeks many Thais have gathered at Siriraj Hospital where he is being treated to sign get-well books for the king or lay garlands in front of a monument of Prince Mahidol of Songkla, the king's father, to pray for a speedy recovery.

Thailand ready for Asean Summit
Writer: BangkokPost.com
Published: 9/09/2009 at 04:42 PM
Arrangements are complete for the hosting of the Asean Summit and leaders of all 10 member countries and six non-Asean countries have confirmed they will attend, permanent secretary for foreign affairs Virasak Futrakul said on Wednesday.

The summit will be held at Cha-am, Phetchaburi province, and nearby Hua Hin, in adjoining Prachuap Khiri Khan province, from Oct 23 to 25.

China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and India will attend the summit with Asean's 10 member-states.

Mr Virasak said Asean permanent secretaries for foreign affairs will meet from Oct 6 to 8 to finalise preparations.

The Asean Summit was initially convened in Pattaya in mid April this year, but it was cancelled amid chaos and violent protests by the red shirts of the anti-government United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship.

The summit was then re-scheduled for Oct 23-25 in Phuket, but the venue was later shifted to Cha-am and Hua Hin since Phuket will host the annual vegetarian festival at that time.

The government has said the Internal Security Act will be enforced around the summit venues.

GranMonte Winemaker Dinner – August 28 – 6:30 PM



The Great Growths of Bordeaux, the maze of tiny plots of vines of Burgundy

and the multitude of boutique and artisan producers all over this world,

all have rarity to thank for the mystique and, of course, price that go

with them. Some rare finds have this mystique but are priceless and we think we have one joining us at Evason Resort Hua Hin and Six Senses Hideaway Resort Hua Hin :

Nikki Visootha Lohitnavy. Not only special for her talents as a winemaker but also

for the situation she now finds herself in as Thailand’s first ever overseas

educated and trained female oenologist when she graduated last year from the famous Adelaide

University in the heart of Australia’s wineland.

As winemaker of any winery there is a great deal of pressure, yet when the winery is

owned by your father the pressure just keeps on building. With her father being Visooth Lohitnavy, who as both CEO of GranMonte and President of the Thai Wine Association could pose real problems when trying to impress, Nikki, however, can rest easy. Her wines are

superb and a real testament to both generations’ efforts.
