Let the Diamond Jubilee begin
=============================================
Preparations are completed for Royal and state ceremonies marking the auspicious occasion of the 60th anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej's accession to the throne, including security measures, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said here on Monday.
All preparations for the country's grand celebrations for His Majesty the King's Diamond Jubilee are now fully complete, according to the prime minister.
Speaking to journalists when he attended a rehearsal for Royal and state ceremonies at the Ananda Samakom Throne Hall, the prime minister invited members of the Thai public to gather and loyally welcome His Majesty the King and members of the Royal Thai Family at the Ananda Samakom Throne Hall on June 9 when the revered and beloved Thai monarch would preside Royal ceremonies marking His Majesty's 60 years on the throne and would deliver a Royal address before the public.
The prime minister said that the government had installed large projectors at Royal Plaza in front of the Ananda Samakom Throne Hall and along nearby Rajadamnoen Avernue for the public to view the Royal ceremonies with the Royal address.
Mr Thaksin also affirmed that preparations to welcome the world royalty and distinguished guests invited to attend the Royal and state ceremonies had been fully complete.
The world royalty will stay in Thailand between June tomorrow and June 21, when they will be welcomed with national uniqueness and tightened security measures, according to Deputy Prime Minister Surakiart Sathirathai,
"Kings and Queens from 25 countries worldwide have confirmed to join the Royal and state ceremonies in Bangkok marking the auspicious occasion," he said.
The world royalty will be honourably received and welcome at the Royal Thai Air Force Airport and the Don Muang International Airport by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn and Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.
Some of the world royalty will visit areas and tourist destinations outside Bangkok, including those in the northern province of Chiang Mai, the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima, the eastern province of Chonburi, the central provinces of Ratchaburi and Kanchanaburi and the southern province of Phuket, according to the deputy premier.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Tuesday 6 June 2006 :-
Royal Jubliee : Exhibits will go on show permanently
================================================================
The cabinet has agreed that an exhibition honouring His Majesty the King should become a permanent fixture, and that parts of it should be taken abroad, government spokesman Surapong Suebwonglee said yesterday. The huge public turn-out at Impact Exhibition and Convention Centre in Muang Thong Thani had prompted the government to look for space to permanently house the exhibits, he said.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives had recommended the commemorative museum in Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang district, which has more than 100 rai of unused land. With facilities already there, another building might be needed to accommodate the 40,000 square metres of exhibits.
Asked about taking the exhibition abroad, as suggested by the Prime Minister, Mr Surapong said Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the US, where the King was born, was a possibility.
The King's father, HRH Mahidol Adulyadej, Prince of Songkhla, also studied there. The King Bhumibol Adulyadej Square had been built there as a tribute to the King, he said.
Mr Surapong said Los Angeles, home to a large number of Thai expatriates, was another possibility.
Authorities were also considering taking the exhibition to other cities in Thailand, he said.
A commemorative film would likely also be shot to spread the message of the King's virtue far and wide.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Thursday 8 June 2006 :-
Royal Jubilee Celebrations : Royal liaison officers at the ready
================================================================
After many late-night practice sessions for nearly a month now, a group of liaison and security officers for royal visitors during the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of His Majesty the King's accession to the throne say they are ready for action. The key to the job, taking care of monarchs and royal guests during their stay in Thailand, is a once in a lifetime opportunity and they will be doing their best to ensure there are no mistakes.
Performing as liaison officers are C-8 officials of the Foreign Affairs Ministry. Police, meanwhile, will be responsible for security-related tasks which officially kicked off with the arrival of the first royal guest, Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom, yesterday.
Each liaison officer has one assistant, or two if a royal guest is accompanied by a spouse, said Pasan Teparak, consul-general in Dubai, who returned to Thailand especially for the task.
A number of C-9 and C-10 officials will be stationed at designated hotels to coordinate with security and hotel staff.
The royal guests will stay at 13 different hotels and will arrive at the royal ceremonies one by one.
Arrival will be arranged in accordance with royal seniority. Those who have reigned longer will be the first to arrive and vice-versa. Therefore, Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei will be the most senior visiting monarch.
Apart from the royal functions, the royal guests also have their own programmes in the city and in the provinces.
Several of the liaison officers are already familiar with this kind of assignment.
Dusit Manapan, director of the Department of International Organisations' Social Division, said he was experienced in escorting members of the Royal Family during their visits overseas.
He will be the liaison officer for the Sultan of Brunei.
Pornpop Uampidhaya, director of Department of Treaties and Legal Affairs' International Law Development Division, said practice runs have built up confidence.
''But we need to stay alert all the time for any problems. The most important thing is to be familiar with the plan, the routes and the people involved,'' he said.
