Happy Birthday HM Queen Sirikit

Happy Mothers Day to all

The management and staff of the Pattaya Mail, the Pattaya Blatt, the Chiang Mai Mail and the Pattaya Mail Television join the Thai people and the many others from around the world, to present our loyalty and devotion to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit and best wishes for a most Happy Birthday and a long life on the occasion of her 76th birthday, 12 August 2008. We’d also like to say Happy Mothers Day to one and all. Today’s edition of the Pattaya Mail incorporates, with our profound love and respect, a special 12-page pullout section, courtesy of the Bureau of the Royal Household, showing a glimpse of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s remarkable life.
